Engineering Manager, VGo Network

As Engineering Manager for the Starship team in the Vinted Go Network domain, you will lead a team of engineers building and scaling the systems that power Vinted's shipping network.

You'll work closely with product managers, designers, engineers, decision scientists, business, operations, and partner-facing teams. You'll report into senior engineering leadership, stay close to technical decisions, and create the conditions for your team to deliver high-quality outcomes in a complex, fast-moving logistics domain.
