Brief Info About Vinted

Our mission is to make second-hand the first choice, and we're looking for people who want to help us get there. Every day, we work together to help our members buy and sell pre-loved clothing and lifestyle items, giving each piece a second life – or even a third.

The Vinted Group is made up of three business units that support this mission:

Vinted Marketplace is Europe’s leading platform for second-hand fashion and a go-to destination for all kinds of pre-loved items, with a growing range of categories. Our platform connects millions of members across 20+ markets, helping great items find a new life.

Vinted Go enhances the shipping experience with a vast network of over 500,000 pick-up and drop-off points, partnering with more than 60 carriers across Europe, with added services like item verification for peace of mind on high-value pieces.

Vinted Pay is the newest part of the Vinted Group, dedicated to bringing secure, reliable payments to buyers and sellers across Europe. Seamlessly integrated into the Vinted app, it helps keep every transaction safe, efficient, and easy for our members.

Founded in 2008 in Lithuania, Vinted began as a way for friends to find new homes for clothes they no longer needed. In 2019, we became Lithuania's first unicorn! Today, our headquarters remain in Vilnius, and we've grown with offices across Europe, supported by a team of over 2,000 people. Our backers include Accel, EQT Growth, Insight Partners, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Sprints, and TPG.

Information About The Position

Vinted’s Revenue domain is growing — Ads business is on the mission to develop an advertising ecosystem within Vinted and we’re just getting started. We’re looking for a Data Scientist to join our cross-functional team in Ads to help us make the most of our real estate and evolve toward a high‑performance, privacy‑respectful, in‑house advertising ecosystem over time. Think: an ad of an external partner can generate euros directly but we may well advertise our own Marketplace services or newly launched categories to optimise on net revenue as well as user engagement. If you love shaping greenfield problems, balancing modeling with pragmatic coding, and turning data into decisions that scale, this role is for you.

In this position, you’ll

Drive domain objectives: Own the core Ads optimisation and modelling algorithms to drive revenue and performance.
Lead and innovate: Prototype internal and external ads optimisation and recommendation models, and validate them via experiments and simulations. You’ll be able to bring structure to an early-stage problem space.
Raise the bar on quality: Establish clear metrics for success (delivery health, incremental revenue, ad harm), instrument reliable measurement through experimentation.
Unlock impact with data: Leverage internal behavioural signals to improve impression performance while respecting user well-being. Turn insights into actionable policies that scale across campaigns and surfaces.
Ensure collaboration and alignment: Partner closely with Decision Scientists, Ads Engineering, Ad Operations, Product, and Revenue leadership teams to translate business goals into robust data and model choices. Communicate trade-offs clearly and early.
Coordinate across teams: Work with platform and data teams to access the right datasets, improve data quality, and integrate your prototypes into production systems. Bonus if you can take models to production yourself.
Build the future: Contribute to the long-term vision of a Vinted Ads Network. Start by nailing volume and reliability; then help us go deeper on relevance, efficiency, and ethical optimisation.
Continuously improve: Stay current on optimisation, experimentation, and ads tech best practices — and bring those ideas into our day-to-day.
