Senior Backend Engineer
Vinted
C2C marketplace for pre-owned fashion.
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:
Vinted Marketplace 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.
Vinted Go 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.
Vinted Pay 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.
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.

Vinted is an online marketplace where people buy and sell second-hand clothing and accessories. It operates as a consumer-to-consumer (C2C) platform that lets individuals list pre-owned items for sale and others purchase them. Revenue comes mainly from a Buyer Protection fee charged on each transaction, which covers customer support, shipping tracking, and refunds. The platform targets those interested in affordable, sustainable fashion and the circular economy, appealing to users who want to declutter, discover unique items, and shop more environmentally friendly. Vinted’s approach centers on peer-to-peer re-commerce, offering a simple way to trade clothing within a global community, with a focus on accessibility and sustainability rather than new-product manufacturing.
