ph3bBrief info about Vinted /b /h3 /brpOur 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. /p /brpThe Vinted Group is made up of three business units that support this mission. /p /brpbVinted Marketplace /b 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. /p /brpbVinted Go /b 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. /p /brpbVinted Pay /b 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. /p /brpFounded 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. /p /brh3bInformation about the position /b /h3 /brpWe are launching a brand-new bAutomation Team /b within the Vinted Pay domain. /p /brpThis team will be structurally different from other product teams at Vinted because it operates in a non-PDA setup(No Product Manager, Product Designer, or Decision Scientist by design). We believe that automation is a deeply technical and operational challenge that should be spearheaded directly by engineering. /p /brpAs the Engineering Managerof the Automation Team, you will wear two hats: leading your team of Backend Engineers and acting as the Product Manager. You will own the entire lifecycle of the team’s deliverables — from early-stage product discovery and requirements gathering with key stakeholders to technical design, delivery, and scaling. /p /brpInitially, your team will focus on automating mission-critical compliance and operational flows, including: /p /brol /brlibFinancial Authority Reporting: /b Automating complex reporting pipelines for central banks and regulators /li /brlibCompliance Operations (SARs STARs): /b Automating Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) and Suspicious Transaction Activity Reports (STARs) in collaboration with our AML and Legal teams. /li /brlibIncident Reporting Monitoring: /b Seamlessly automating incident tracking, alerting, and SLA triggers within Vinted Pay. /li /br /ol /brh3bIn this position, you’ll /b /h3 /brul /brlipbProduct Delivery Management (Acting as PM) /b /p /brul /brlibOwn Product Discovery: /b Partner closely with high-level stakeholders — including Compliance, AML Legal, Risk, Finance, and Customer Support — to understand regulatory, legal, and operational problems. /li /brlibWrite Product Requirements: /b Translate complex financial, compliance, and regulatory guidelines into clear, structured functional requirements, product briefs, and technical epics. /li /brlibSet the Vision Roadmap: /b Define your team’s long-term automation strategy, map out milestones, set Quarterly OKRs, and prioritize the backlog based on business impact and legal deadlines. /li /brlibManage Stakeholder Alignment: /b Act as the primary interface for Vinted Pay leadership on automation capabilities, communicating delivery status, technical trade-offs, and risk mitigations. /li /br /ul /brpbPeople Leadership Team Health /b /p /brul /brlibNurture Grow Engineers: /b Direct-line manage a team of Backend Engineers (IC2-IC4). Identify their development needs, set impact and growth goals, conduct impactful 1:1s, and run performance reviews through our People Growth Impact Cycle (PGIC). /li /brlibFoster psychological safety: /b Create a healthy, autonomous, and high-performing team environment that values curiosity, continuous learning, and co-creation. /li /brlibHiring Capability Planning: /b Take ownership of recruiting and onboarding new engineering talent as the team expands to match Vinted Pay's growth. /li /br /ul /brpbTechnical Process Excellence /b /p /brul /brlibEnsure Quality of Engineering: /b Oversee the delivery lifecycle. Ensure that the team writes highly performant, secure, and scalable automated systems (mostly in bGo /b or bRuby /b) that adhere to our domain's architectural standards. /li /brlibManage Technical Debt: /b Proactively identify and manage technical debt, balancing pragmatic short-term deliveries with long-term architectural health. /li /brlibOwn Service Reliability Incidents: /b Establish clear Service Level Indicators (SLIs) and Service Level Objectives (SLOs) for your automation systems. Ensure robust monitoring and a structured process for incident management. /li /br /ul /li /br /ul /brh3bAbout you /b /h3 /brpWe are looking for a hybrid leader who possesses both strong engineering management fundamentals and a proven product sense. /p /brul /brlibDual Experience: /b You have previous experience as an Engineering Manager, Technical Program Manager, or a highly technical Product Manager. You have a track record of successfully managing engineering delivery and people while writing requirements and driving product roadmaps. /li /brlibRegulated Domain Exposure: /b You have spent time working in a FinTech, Payments, Banking, or highly regulated compliance/operations environment. Experience dealing with AML, KYC, transaction monitoring, or regulatory reporting is a major plus. /li /brlibExceptional Communication: /b You excel at breaking down highly complex regulatory, legal, and compliance concepts into clear, actionable technical requirements for developers, while confidently explaining technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders. /li /brlibPragmatic and Non-Dogmatic: /b You believe in using "the right tool for the job." You understand that "automate everything" is not always the answer, and you can make smart, data-driven trade-offs between speed, cost, and completeness. /li /brlibSolid Technical Roots: /b Having a background in software engineering (ideally service-oriented architecture/microservices) would be a major plus. While you won't be writing code daily, you would be able to spar with senior backend engineers on system design, APIs, and databases. /li /brlibGrowth Mindset: /b You actively seek feedback, are adaptable to changing circumstances, and enjoy building systems from scratch in highly ambiguous problem spaces. /li /br /ul /brh3bWork perks /b /h3 /brul /brliThe opportunity to benefit from our share options programme /li /brli25 working days of holiday /li /brliAccess to all the tools tech needed for work /li /brliHome office support: we provide IT workstation equipment and a personal budget of up to €540 for home workplace furniture /li /brliPrivate health insurance /li /brliMental and emotional health support through the Mindletic app /li /brliFrequent team-building events /li /brliA personal monthly budget for shopping on Vinted /li /brliThe opportunity to spend up to 90 days per year - 21 of which can be spent working outside of the EU - on workation /li /brliA dog-friendly office /li /brliIn Vilnius office: Gym in-house meals at friendly prices /li /brliIn Kaunas office: a monthly lunch allowance, and a once-a-week provided in-house lunch and breakfast /li /br /ul /brh3bWorking at Vinted /b /h3 /brh3bIndividual Learning Budget /b /h3 /brpWe invest in your professional growth!
