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:

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. 

Information about the position 

As our new Software Platform Engineer, you will be part of the Impact Platform team. Unfamiliar with feature flagging and experimentation infrastructure? No problem! Only a few companies manage to successfully scale feature management and experiment execution company-wide at Vinted’s scale, and we are aiming to be one of them.
