Senior Design Engineer, Design System

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. 

Information about the position 

Design systems used to live in Figma for designers, with engineers translating them into code. Now AI agents write a growing share of our UI, from prototypes to production, and they read code and docs, not Figma. Our design system has to be built for them too.

We’re looking for a Senior Design Technologist to join the team behind Bloom, Vinted’s design system. Bloom exists to help teams build faster while keeping quality high. Your work will make sure AI can build high-quality outputs with Bloom: experiences that are coherent, on-brand and meet the visual bar millions of members expect.

The designers and engineers who build with Bloom are your customers. You’ll own those relationships, decide what to build next and evaluate if it worked.

In this position, you’ll 

• Define how Bloom looks and works for AI-assisted building, from foundations and components to how the system is documented and consumed, so people and agents always work from a source of truth that matches the code.
• Lead the system design of our AI tooling, including MCP servers, agent skills and the knowledge they draw on, and evolve it based on how teams actually use it.
• Own our evals: design them, improve them and monitor the quality of what AI tools produce with Bloom.
• Build working tools and prototypes to test ideas with real users before committing to them.
• Own relationships with the teams who use Bloom: understand their needs, prioritise what to build and make technical trade-offs.
• Keep the visual and quality bar high for member-facing experiences while keeping the system coherent.
• Help the designers in the Design System team grow into Design Technologists: share practices for working in code and with AI, pair with them and review their work.

About you 

• Strong proven experience (typically 5+ years) in design, engineering or both, with a track record of shipping complex products or systems.
• Hands-on experience building working tools and prototypes in code, using AI-assisted tools fluently while critically assessing their output.
• Shipped and owned AI features or internal AI tooling.
• Experience owning customer outcomes: prioritising features, evaluating prototypes and features with real users, and making technical trade-offs. Experience at work and side projects with real users both count.
• Experience designing complex systems, with a strong eye for visual and interaction quality.
• Experience helping others grow through pairing, reviews or sharing practices.
• Excellent communication skills, including excellent written and spoken English.
• A strong collaborator with designers, engineers and product partners.
• A portfolio or work samples showing what you built, your personal contribution, the trade-offs you made and what changed after launch.
• Having built a working AI-ready design system is a huge advantage, but not required.

Work perks 

• The opportunity to benefit from our share options programme
• 25 working days of holiday
• Access to all the tools & tech needed for work
• Home office support: we provide IT workstation equipment and a personal budget of up to €540 for home workplace furniture
• Private health insurance
• Pension plan with flexible contribution options and a matching contribution from Vinted
• Confidential Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for you and your family
• Frequent team-building events
• A personal monthly budget for shopping on Vinted
• A dog-friendly office
• In Vilnius office: gym & in-house meals at friendly prices
• In Kaunas office: a monthly lunch allowance, and a once-a-week provided in-house lunch and breakfast
