- Drive Technical Roadmap: Partner closely with the Product Manager and Engineering Manager to shape the team’s roadmap. You will provide well-considered technical perspectives and effort estimates that balance ambitious product goals with architectural health.
- Own Engineering Excellence: Raise the bar for code quality, testing, and observability. You will drive the definition of SLIs/SLOs for fulfillment services and ensure the team makes pragmatic trade-offs between perfection and technical debt.

Job description
The ad as published by the employer.
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.
We're hiring a Lead Backend Engineer to join the Order Fulfillment (internally known as Nasa) team at Vinted. Our mission is to ensure every transaction on our marketplace - from logistics integrations to tracking and delivery - is smooth, reliable, and scalable.
In this role, you will be the technical anchor for our fulfillment initiatives. You won’t just be building features; you will be shaping the logic that guides our 100+ million members through the most critical part of their journey. Partnering closely with the Product Manager and Engineering Manager, you will influence the technical roadmap to ensure that as we deliver new capabilities, we are also evolving our services to be more resilient and maintainable.
You will lead the design of complex product capabilities, navigate architectural trade-offs in a high-traffic environment, and multiply the team's impact by mentoring other engineers and raising the bar for engineering excellence. This is a role for a technical leader who enjoys solving ambitious, product-driven problems through sound engineering judgment and cross-functional collaboration.
- Vinted Go enhances the shipping experience with a vast network of over 500,000 pick-up and drop-off points, partnering with more than 60 carriers across Europe, with added services like item verification for peace of mind on high-value pieces.
- Vinted Pay is the newest part of the Vinted Group, dedicated to bringing secure, reliable payments to buyers and sellers across Europe. Seamlessly integrated into the Vinted app, it helps keep every transaction safe, efficient, and easy for our members.
