We're hiring a Backend Engineer to join the Digital Growth Enablement team in the Member Lifecycle domain at Vinted. Our team focuses on how millions of people discover Vinted online. We build the backend systems, tracking infrastructure, and content tools that connect search engines and marketing campaigns to our marketplace.
