About the Role

As our new Staff Engineer for AI in Engineering Experience, you will be a key technical leader shaping how hundreds of Vinted employees build software with AI in engineering, design, and product. You will own the technical strategy for our assisted and agentic AI infrastructure: tools, platforms, and golden paths that turn AI into a force multiplier across the software development lifecycle.

Responsibilities

• Own the technical vision and strategy for Vinted’s agentic development ecosystem with AI: assisted and agentic coding (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex), agentic PR reviews, and MCP infrastructure that connects AI tooling to Vinted’s systems.
• Drive the expansion of AI-enabled engineering workflows so engineers can lean on AI for debugging with logs, traces, configs, and system context.
• Lead the application of AI assistance beyond coding, including incident investigation and resolution, on-call runbook guidance and automated handovers, and easier navigation of services, ownership, and system relationships.
• Define what AI-ready means at Vinted for repositories, services, and workflows, and drive adoption through shared skills, scorecards, and golden paths that product teams can follow with minimal friction.
• Guide the technical roadmap of our AI tooling team, ensuring deliverables compound into a coherent platform.
• Lead high-stakes experiments on emerging AI capabilities (automated refactoring, test generation, agentic PR reviews) and turn them into company-wide standards.
• Evaluate external tooling vs. in-house solutions for AI-enabled engineering capabilities, guide build-versus-buy decisions, and navigate the fast-moving pricing and contract landscape with technical judgment.
• Define and operationalize clear success metrics for AI-enabled engineering, including adoption, quality, and impact on developer productivity.
• Represent Vinted’s AI engineering direction within the Staff/Principal Engineer layer, and contribute to the broader AI strategy.

Requirements

• Prior experience as a staff engineer or architect, having delivered cross-team platform initiatives in organizations of scale.
• Deep, hands-on expertise with modern AI coding and agentic tooling (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, or comparable), and a clear point of view on where they fit in an engineer’s workflow.
• Strong understanding of LLM application architecture: agent design, tool use, MCP, retrieval and knowledge indexing, evaluation, and the operational realities of running agents in production.
• Comfort with ambiguity and fast pivots: the AI landscape shifts on a monthly basis.
• A pragmatist’s instinct for what’s real vs. hype: able to separate demos from durable capability, run structured experiments, and kill things that don’t work.
• Demonstrable expertise in designing technical strategies and driving their adoption across hundreds of engineers through code, golden paths, enablement, and technical writing.
• Ability to delegate refinement and implementation to engineers in your organization while holding the bar on architecture and direction.
• Sharp communication skills and an ability to discuss complex topics in detail, while building relationships, alignment, and consensus across functions and departments.
