Задачи:

Contribute to the technical design and development of company-wide service standards and golden paths. Build and maintain reusable backend libraries, tools, and scaffolding to streamline new service creation and maintenance.

Partner with backend engineers across domains to drive adoption of framework updates, collect feedback, and improve developer experience. Collaborate with Observability and Infrastructure teams to integrate telemetry, SLOs, and resilience practices directly into standard service templates. Ensure security, privacy, and compliance guidelines are embedded directly into service contracts and framework templates. Participate in technical design reviews, RFCs, and code reviews, fostering high engineering standards within the team. Help write clear documentation and guidelines to empower engineers across Vinted to adopt golden paths effortlessly.

Требования:

Strong backend engineering experience with solid system design skills and hands‑on experience building scalable services. Practical expertise in designing API contracts, service startup patterns, and performance optimization. Passionate about developer experience, tooling, and enabling other engineers through well‑designed software. Ability to evaluate pragmatic technical trade-offs between code maintainability, delivery speed, and technical debt.
