Since then, we've built the world's largest encrypted email service (Proton Mail) and expanded into Proton VPN, Proton Drive, Proton Pass, and Proton Calendar — tools used by millions globally to protect their freedom, fight censorship, and keep their data safe. In some situations, Proton has literally helped save lives.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">We are profitable, independent (no VC control), and selectively hire from the top ~1% of applicants.
