Brief info about Vinted
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.
Information about the position
As a Detection and Response Engineer on Vinted's Security Incident Response Team (SIRT), you'll work on the day-to-day of keeping Vinted safe: writing detections, running investigations, and helping us automate the boring parts. You'll have senior engineers to lean on, but we expect you to own your work and ship it. You take initiative. You spot the next thing worth doing and pick it up.
This role suits people who already have some software-engineering or security ops background, want to build their DFIR depth, and don't mind the pace getting unpredictable when an incident hits.
In this position, you’ll
- Contribute to the detection lifecycle: write and tune detection rules, monitor signal-to-noise ratios, and help measure alert effectiveness using a Detection-as-Code methodology.
- Follow established processes, contribute to automated playbooks, and participate in incident response to drive containment and remediation.
- Research the latest adversary TTPs to identify visibility gaps and participate in hunting exercises to discover advanced threats.
- Operate and maintain our security stack, including SIEM, EDR, and SOAR.
- Collaborate with Engineering teams to build secure-by-default systems and use AI to enhance triage and response tooling.
- Contribute to metrics that provide actionable security insights to the team.
- Participate in on-call rotations as part of our incident response coverage.
About you
- You have a background in software development (e.g., Python, Go) or security operations and a solid understanding of modern developer workflows (CI/CD, and IaC).
- You have a working knowledge of the current threat landscape and a passion for detection and response work.
- You have strong problem-solving skills with a deep dive mentality - you don't stop until you understand the why behind a system behavior or security gap.
- You're excited about using generative AI to enhance triage and response tooling.
- You have excellent spoken and written English, with the ability to translate complex technical risks into clear concepts for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
