About the role

Senior Product Designer role at Proton, focusing on visual and interaction design for Proton VPN and other Proton products, balancing privacy, security, and usability with a strong design system and hands-on collaboration with product managers and engineers.

Responsibilities

  • Own the visual and interaction quality of one or more Proton products — from early concepts through production, until what ships matches the design intent
  • Design interfaces that make sophisticated privacy and security features feel intuitive and trustworthy — without oversimplifying what's underneath
  • Craft visual systems — typography, hierarchy, spacing, color, iconography — that scale across millions of users
  • Design motion, transitions, and micro-interactions that add meaning, not decoration
  • Create icons, illustrations, and visual assets that strengthen Proton's visual language and stay consistent across products
  • Raise the team's craft bar through your own execution, design critiques, and contributions to the shared design system
  • Partner with Product Managers and engineers to shape solutions early, surface constraints, and stay hands-on through implementation

Qualifications

  • 5+ years designing and shipping consumer (B2C and ideally B2B) digital products, with a portfolio demonstrating exceptional visual craft across real products — typography, layout, hierarchy, spacing, color, interaction, and motion (portfolio required with application)
  • Proven ability to simplify genuinely complex problems into interfaces that feel obvious in hindsight
  • Experience building and evolving design systems — not just consuming them — and understanding how consistency and flexibility work together
  • Experience designing motion and micro-interactions as integral parts of production UI, not afterthoughts
  • Highly proficient in Figma — moving fluidly from exploration to high-fidelity designs and interactive prototypes
  • Ownership beyond your immediate work — you notice quality issues and inconsistencies, and you act on them
