As Engineering Manager in Vinted's Platform organisation, you will be responsible for leading the Developer Environments team. The team owns the environments where engineers, and increasingly AI agents, build and test code before it reaches production. Your mission is to make a remote development environment the default and fastest way to work at Vinted, whether the user is a person or an agent.

The Developer Environments team owns Vinted's on-demand development environments: a CLI that provisions a remote machine and brings up our microservices on it, so an engineer or an agent can work as if everything ran locally. The team also owns an internal AI-first hosting platform.

The team sits at the core of Vinted's AI strategy, which shifts engineers toward architecture and planning while AI agents autonomously implement, test, deploy, and monitor. You will report to Artūras Vedrickas, and work closely with Platform capability owners, the Agentic Platform team, Product Engineers across all domains, and Security.

• Lead a team of engineers building the development environments that hundreds of engineers and a fast-growing population of AI agents work in every single day
• Shape your team's vision, scope, and quarterly objectives with your stakeholders, and be accountable for turning initiatives into valuable, adopted outcomes
• Make the common tasks of starting any service with realistic data, running the full test loop before merging, giving an agent its own isolated environment and finding out what broke, take seconds
• Drive outcomes we can measure: how long it takes to get from a clean checkout to a running, debuggable service and whether tests pass the same way in the environment and in CI
• Own delivery for your team: spotting dependencies early, clearing obstacles and driving outcomes
• Grow your people through real 1:1s, realistic development plans, and feedback that's kind because it's honest
• Keep stakeholders across Engineering genuinely informed and aligned, translating between deep technical detail and business needs
• Contribute to the Domain's technical strategy
• Help shape Vinted's AI adoption roadmap - sandboxes for agents, the runtime for hosted coding agents, the checks that let agent-written changes merge without a human in the loop - and evolve your own team's ways of working

• Build isolated, secure sandboxes where multiple autonomous coding agents work the same repository concurrently without cross-contamination
• Create the CI/CD verification gates - linting, test suites, AI-assisted validation - that earn the trust needed to auto-merge an increasing share of agent-authored changes
• Make the environment and CI give the same result: shared caching, hermetic builds, and flaky tests measured
• Run the fleet of environments within a budget: track utilisation, reclaim idle machines, and know what an environment-hour costs

• You've led a team that built or ran remote development environments, build infrastructure or CI for hundreds of engineers and you treat internal users as customers who have alternatives, including running everything on their own devices
• You've proven you can be accountable for delivery without doing it all yourself: planning, estimating, delegating, and shipping through your team
• You have hands-on fluency with modern AI-assisted development - coding agents, MCP integrations, agent skills and evals - and, just as important, formed opinions about where agents genuinely help
• You care deeply about developer experience, and you know the difference between reducing total work and merely moving it elsewhere
• You're good at growing people: coaching, mentoring, giving feedback that lands, and addressing underperformance with clarity and care rather than avoidance
• You understand the tradeoffs in provisioning environments - warm pools, snapshots, layered caching, microVMs versus containers - well enough to question your engineers' designs
• You have shut down a tool your own team built because the usage numbers said you should
• Advantage: you have owned or worked closely on a build system migration (Bazel, Buck, Pants) or monorepo tooling at scale
• Advantage: experience running agentic or LLM-powered workloads in production - sandboxing, guardrails, evaluations, or observability for agents

• The opportunity to benefit from our share options programme
• 25 days of paid annual leave
• Newest MacBook models
• Confidential Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for you and your family
• Frequent team-building events
• Home office support: we provide IT workstation equipment and a personal budget of up to €540 for home workplace furniture
• Lunch benefit per working day
• A personal monthly budget for shopping on Vinted
• Collective Defined Contribution Pension plan
• NS Business Card for your commute to the office by public transport
• Company bike leasing scheme
• Monthly budget for a flexible benefits platform
• Work from Home allowance
• A dog-friendly office

Workation policy

Better balance holidays with workdays by working remotely! Up to 90 days per year in the EU, of these, 21 days can be spent globally. For non-EU citizens, it's 21 days worldwide. This can be combined with time off for vacation or personal time.

Individual learning budget

Each year, you’ll be given a learning budget (starting at €3,000), and a total of up to 10 working days over a 2-year period to support your personal and professional development.

Hybrid work

Our hybrid model, with 2 recommended office days a week, gives you and your team the flexibility to decide if and when you want to work from home, and when to catch up in person.

Equal opportunity

We welcome applications from everybody, regardless of your background, identity, or life experiences. Job openings come with guides, not checklists. If you’re excited about a role, but don’t identify with every point in the ‘About you’ section, apply anyway – you might still be the perfect match!
