Job Description

We're hiring a Backend Engineer to join the Member Acquisition team in the Member Lifecycle domain at Vinted. Our team focuses on the organic growth channels and onboarding journeys that bring new members to our platform. We build the backend systems, referral engines, and platform configurations that power our global expansion.

In this role, you will scale our peer-to-peer referral program, build automated voucher and incentive distribution systems, configure our platform to launch Vinted in new international markets, and design data migration pipelines to integrate acquired marketplaces. Every backend optimization you make directly accelerates Vinted's growth and helps millions of new members successfully list and buy their first items in our circular economy.

Take a look at engineering.vinted.com to see what we’re up to.

  • Work in a team to build features that make our members’ lives better

  • Use tools like Grafana and Kibana to help monitor service behaviour and investigate issues
  • Write clear, maintainable, and well-tested code

Requirements

  • You have professional experience (or a strong interest in learning) Ruby - which power our monolith and headless CMS
  • You’re eager to learn and excited to grow your backend engineering skills, including working with GO lang
  • You enjoy improving things and proactively raising ideas when you see opportunities
  • You have solid software engineering fundamentals and experience building backend applications
  • You write clean, maintainable code and care about quality and testability
