As Engineering Manager in Vinted's Platform organisation, you will be responsible for leading the Developer Environments team. The team owns the environments where engineers, and increasingly AI agents, build and test code before it reaches production. Your mission is to make a remote development environment the default and fastest way to work at Vinted, whether the user is a person or an agent.
The Developer Environments team owns Vinted's on-demand development environments: a CLI that provisions a remote machine and brings up our microservices on it, so an engineer or an agent can work as if everything ran locally. The team also owns an internal AI-first hosting platform.
The team sits at the core of Vinted's AI strategy, which shifts engineers toward architecture and planning while AI agents autonomously implement, test, deploy, and monitor. You will report to Artūras Vedrickas, and work closely with Platform capability owners, the Agentic Platform team, Product Engineers across all domains, and Security.
- Lead a team of engineers building the development environments that hundreds of engineers and a fast-growing population of AI agents work in every single day
- Shape your team's vision, scope, and quarterly objectives with your stakeholders, and be accountable for turning initiatives into valuable, adopted outcomes
- Make the common tasks of starting any service with realistic data, running the full test loop before merging, giving an agent its own isolated environment and finding out what broke, take seconds
- Drive outcomes we can measure: how long it takes to get from a clean checkout to a running, debuggable service and whether tests pass the same way in the environment and in CI
- Own delivery for your team: spotting dependencies early, clearing obstacles and driving outcomes
- Grow your people through real 1:1s, realistic development plans, and feedback that's kind because it's honest
- Keep stakeholders across Engineering genuinely informed and aligned, translating between deep technical detail and business needs
- Contribute to the Domain's technical strategy
- Help shape Vinted's AI adoption roadmap - sandboxes for agents, the runtime for hosted coding agents, the checks that let agent-written changes merge without a human in the loop - and evolve your own team's ways of working
As an Engineering Manager here you'll stay close to the technical work. That work includes:
- Build isolated, secure sandboxes where multiple autonomous coding agents work the same repository concurrently without cross-contamination
- Create the CI/CD verification gates - linting, test suites, AI-assisted validation - that earn the trust needed to auto-merge an increasing share of agent-authored changes
- Make the environment and CI give the same result: shared caching, hermetic builds, and flaky tests measured
- Run the fleet of environments within a budget: track utilisation, reclaim idle machines, and know what an environment-hour costs
