Proton VPN enables millions of people to connect securely and privately, even in places where the internet is restricted or unreliable. Delivering that experience means our service must perform flawlessly under highly variable, real-world conditions.
We are looking for a Senior Performance Engineer to lead our efforts in making Proton VPN the fastest, most resilient, and most reliable VPN service in the world.
You will define and drive the measurement, analysis, and optimization of Proton VPN’s end-to-end performance, across clients, platforms, and global infrastructure. You’ll help ensure that every connection is fast, stable, and private, regardless of where the user is or what network they’re on.
We're looking for candidates with experience in system-level development (e.g. C or C++ or Rust), and network engineering (experience working with UDP/TCP and VPN protocols).
A founder lives their company as the most important thing in their life, it's an extension of their life and they live and breath the company. A manager instead is being given a responsibility and will try their best to fulfill the role.
A founder will never rest if they know there's an issue to be solved in the company, while the manager has a life and know they can move forward in case.
A founder will not be intimidated by any internal policy or rule if they believe they need to change something. A manager will try to play by the rules, and in case try to modify them through influence.
A founder is basically a ruler who truly care about the success of the company (not necessarily about the happiness and fulfilment of the people taking part in the company).
For a funder the Company comes first, before anything else.
I got one hip replaced in my thirties with titanium and ceramic. I am so glad I did it. I can't run too much but, beside that, I got back entire mobility after couple of months. More than 10 years have passed and it's like not having a prothesis. Ceramic was suggested by doctor as it lasts longer (though it's more fragile in case of accident).
This is not true.
We moved longtime ago to use hCaptcha precisely to cut ties with Google reCAPTCHA.
And we switched today from hCaptcha to our own solution precisely for the reason described in the blog post.

Hey, I have such glasses, and here in France at least they are still marketed. Do you have any reference pointing out the fact that they do not work? (Are they even worse than regular glasses?)
The problem is not that everybody can access information. The problem is that click-bait false information is pushed by ranking algorithms more and more in front of the eyes of people who are ready to believe in them. The information bubble then is making people more and more radicalized.

They are probably right. After a PhD, and 2-3 postdocs you end up being 40, out of the domain, and the most probable job available will be data analytics for a bank, when your real dream was the Nobel prize...
