Senior Backend Engineer, Engineering Experience

Vinted is hiring a Senior Backend Engineer for the Engineering Experience domain in its Platform unit. The domain builds tools, platforms, and golden paths for Vinted Engineering, including CI/CD, development environments, AI tooling, and internal developer portals.

• Design, build, and own backend services, tooling, and frameworks that make development and delivery fast, safe, and reliable.
• Explore, adopt, and integrate AI-assisted workflows and coding agents across the software development lifecycle.
• Improve cloud environments (such as Spinup) and automated CI/CD/PR pipelines so engineers can validate and merge changes in seconds.
• Write clean, modular, and maintainable code with thorough test coverage across all layers (Unit, Integration, E2E).
• Build robust monitoring, logging, and alerting for platform services, proactively identifying performance bottlenecks.
• Actively guide and mentor fellow engineers, conduct insightful code reviews, share best practices, and write clear technical proposals (RFCs / ADRs).

• Substantial experience designing, building, and running scalable backend systems and distributed services in production.
• You understand architectural trade-offs, know how to balance quick iteration with long-term system stability, and create clear boundaries and interfaces.
• You actively use AI tools to accelerate your own engineering workflow, understand the practical limitations and failure modes of LLMs, and know how to design guardrails and scaffolding around them.
• You are comfortable taking ambiguous engineering problems, breaking them down into structured milestones, and driving them to completion with high autonomy.
• You enjoy mentoring less experienced engineers, providing actionable feedback, and collaborating across teams to help colleagues adopt new tools and practices.
• You understand how application code interacts with infrastructure and are accustomed to instrumenting your services with metrics, traces, and logs.
• Excellent written and spoken English, with the ability to articulate technical ideas clearly through documentation, RFCs, and discussions.
• Hands-on experience with Go, Kubernetes, Docker, ArgoCD, or cloud infrastructure.
• Prior experience working in a Platform, Developer Tooling, CI/CD, or DevEx team.
• Experience integrating LLM APIs, coding agents, or developer productivity workflows into real-world development pipelines.
