Vinted

Vinted is an online marketplace that helps people buy and sell second hand fashion and other pre owned items, making it easier to keep goods in use for longer and reduce waste. The core problem it tackles is the friction involved in reselling, such as finding buyers, managing listings, handling payments, and organising delivery. By providing a single place to list items, discover products, and complete transactions, Vinted supports a smoother resale experience than informal peer to peer selling on social networks or local classifieds.

The platform is aimed primarily at everyday consumers. On one side are sellers who want a simple way to declutter and earn money back from items they no longer use. On the other side are buyers looking for more affordable options, specific brands, or a more sustainable way to shop. Because the marketplace relies on trust between individuals, the user experience is shaped by features like search and discovery, messaging, ratings or reviews, payments, and shipping integration, all of which need to work reliably at scale.

Although Vinted is not a classic B2B SaaS product, it operates like a technology platform company with many SaaS adjacent characteristics. It runs a large, multi sided digital product with recurring operational complexity, including identity and fraud prevention, risk and compliance, customer support tooling, and data driven decision making. Its success depends on strong product management, robust engineering, and careful optimisation of marketplace dynamics, such as matching supply and demand, improving conversion, and maintaining user trust across different countries and languages.

People who thrive at Vinted are likely to enjoy building consumer facing products where small changes can have a big impact on user behaviour. Software engineers, product managers, designers, data analysts and data scientists, and user researchers will find plenty of scope in areas like search, recommendations, payments, logistics, trust and safety, and mobile and web performance. There is also a significant need for operational and commercial skills, for example customer operations, policy, risk, partnerships, and localisation, because marketplaces live or die by the quality of their day to day execution as well as their technology.

For job seekers, Vinted can be appealing if you want to work on a well known product with a clear mission around enabling reuse and making second hand shopping mainstream. The work is likely to involve balancing growth with responsibility, particularly around safety, fraud, and customer experience. If you like environments where teams iterate on real user feedback, measure outcomes carefully, and collaborate across product, engineering, and operations to improve a complex platform, Vinted is the kind of company where that approach is central to how the product evolves.
