Senior Backend Engineer, Buyer

Our mission is to make second-hand the first choice, and we're looking for people who want to help us get there. Every day, we work together to help our members buy and sell pre-loved clothing and lifestyle items, giving each piece a second life – or even a third.

The Vinted Group is made up of three business units that support this mission

Vinted Marketplace is Europe’s leading platform for second-hand fashion and a go-to destination for all kinds of pre-loved items, with a growing range of categories. Our platform connects millions of members across 20+ markets, helping great items find a new life.

Founded in 2008 in Lithuania, Vinted began as a way for friends to find new homes for clothes they no longer needed. In 2019, we became Lithuania's first unicorn! Today, our headquarters remain in Vilnius, and we've grown with offices across Europe, supported by a team of over 2,000 people.

The Buyer Domain at Vinted is dedicated to creating a seamless and highly engaging experience for our members as they search, discover, and purchase items. Our challenge is unique: unlike standard e-commerce, our peer-to-peer catalogue consists of hundreds of millions of entirely unique, single-inventory listings, with millions of new items uploaded daily. Connecting the right buyer with the perfect item in real-time is at the very core of Vinted's success.

The CVP team owns the core platform and services that govern how content is geofenced, balanced, and surfaced across Vinted's growing international network of markets. We build robust systems and tooling that manage cross-border visibility, enabling smooth and gradual market connections (e.g., FR-DE, BE-FR-ES) while optimising key liquidity metrics like Sell-Through Rate (STR%) and Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) by balancing the content in multiple channels.

Our team works closely with Content Visibility Management, Search, and Recommender relevance teams to accelerate product development. Currently, we are driving the automation of content visibility experimentation & analysis. Rather than having different content channels independently re-implement visibility controls, we are building a unified platform to provide autonomy to Decision Scientists. In addition, we are highly contributing in growing new large markets such as the USA and Australia.
