The Payments Team The goal of the Payments team is to enable revenue generation for the entire Proton ecosystem. This comes in the form of introducing new payment methods for users to architecting our client libraries. This team has impact across all of Proton's products and is critical to the success of the business as a whole. The Payments Team works to continuously expand the possibilities for users to pay with various payment methods, beyond just plain credit cards or Paypal - we aspire to create the best end to end payments experience for users globally The team works in tight collaboration with the Account Team (responsible for the Proton user lifecycle), the Proton Finance team, and every single Business Unit to ensure that plans, promotions and pricing meet user expectations -- we are the most cross-functional team in the business with direct impact on the ecosystem strategy Tech Stack and Tools: Differently than many other stacks at Proton, the Payments stack depends largely on external services such as payment providers, tax-information providers, currency-conversion providers... As such it is critical, for the success of the service, to build with resilience. Internally our backend code is in general based on PHP/Symfony, our frontend is based on React, our mobile code is based on Kotlin (on Android) and on Swift (on iOS), with a growing shared codebase in Rust. All our client-code is open-source and GPL3. We are migrating our infrastructure to Kubernetes. Everything runs on premise in Proton's data-centers. To organize our work we use classic tools such as Jira and Confluence.
