Backend Engineer, Security

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.

As a backend software engineer, you will play a key role in driving technical initiatives, building new services, developing and maintaining features. Your main aim will be preparing the product for technical challenges ahead, ensuring Vinted members feel safe on the platform, and contributing to the Vinted vision of making second-hand the first choice. By joining Vinted you will become part of an active community of engineers who are exceptional at delivering the highest grade solutions and are keen on sharing knowledge.
