Darbo aprašymas

Vinted is Europe’s biggest pre-loved fashion marketplace, with 50 million members in 16 countries. We want to make second-hand the first choice worldwide.

A team of over 1000 people from Vinted’s offices in Vilnius, Berlin, Prague, Amsterdam, and Utrecht develop and support our platform. We share a unique work culture that’s based on aiming high, taking ownership, co-creating, caring, and growth.

Vinted is committed to building an inclusive workplace where people from all walks of life feel a sense of belonging. We welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, colour, national origin, citizenship, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion/beliefs, disability or age. We truly believe when we can be fully ourselves, we work better.

We’re looking for a Backend Software Engineer to help evolve and scale an infrastructure that consists of more than ~1200 fat servers, in 3 Data Centers. As part of Vinted’s SRE team, you’ll work with us on network, databases, search clusters, and cache clusters for the fast-growing, new generation of Vinted. This presents great opportunities to grow as a professional and take on new responsibilities. If you think you’re up to the challenge – get in touch!

Here are some of the technologies we use: CentOS 7, Chef, MySQL, Vitess, ElasticSearch, Ceph, Mcrouter, Memcached, Redis, Kafka, JVM, Go, Consul, Prometheus, Grafana, Thanos, Nginx, Jenkins, Docker, Datadog and Kubernetes.

This is a partly remote work opportunity, so you have the possibility to stay based in your city, and to only work in the Vilnius office 1 day per week (once the quarantine period has ended).

In This Position, You’ll

• Contribute to the design and development of the Prometheus and Thanos based metric platform.
• Develop On-call and Incident Management tools and integrate with paging services to drive the oncall process at organization level.
• Partner with site reliability engineers to scale the fleet-wide log collection pipeline and the centralized log management stack ingesting 5TB of logs per day.
• Customize services to tailor time-series–based alerting and alerting for logs for Vinted needs.
• Contribute to the adoption of a new distributed tracing system.
• Solve a range of performance issues in our platforms as the infrastructure grows and converges to the multiregional level.
• Participate in on-call rotation for observability products every 6-8 weeks.

About You

• 3+ years of hands on work experience in developing or operating at scale
• A curious individual who wants to learn and master concepts and technologies we use
• Familiarity with technologies in our stack
• Previous experience of infrastructure management is a plus

Work Perks

• Opportunity to join our share options programme
• Learning budget (13.2 % from net yearly salary)
• 25 working days of holiday
• Remote workout classes
• Mental- and emotional-health support from Mindletic
• Private health insurance
• A canteen that serves homemade food at friendly prices
• Monthly team-building events
• A personal budget for shopping on Vinted
• Private health insurance
• Work anywhere in the EU for 90 days out of the year
• Dog-friendly office
• Home office support (IT workstation equipment provided + a personal budget of up to 540 € for home workplace furniture)

We want people to work from where they’re most comfortable, which is why we’re using a hybrid workplace model at Vinted for the foreseeable future.

Hybrid means that we encourage working from the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and the remainder of your time from either home or the office, but it’s not required. You’re welcome to work from either location all or some of the time, depending on what you think is best and safest for you, and how the Covid-19 situation is developing where you are.

The salary range for this position is €2600 - €8560 (gross) per month.

If this sounds interesting – you may well be just who we need!
