Analytics Engineer, Payments Intelligence

Information about the position 

In this role you will become a part of the Payments Intelligence team in Vinted’s Payments business unit. This team consists of a mix of Analytics Engineers, Decision Scientists and Data Scientists and works together with the product and engineering teams in the business unit as well as other teams across the whole DSA function on cross-domain topics. The Payments business unit consists of two domains: Marketplace Payments and Vinted Pay. Marketplace Payments is responsible for everything that is needed to make it possible to pay for items on Vinted while Vinted Pay is a brand new payment service provider that we are building. Your work will be mainly focused on Vinted Pay which is a greenfield project with many analytical engineering challenges and opportunities but as the Payments Intelligence team works on the business unit level you will also have projects related to other topics related to payments.
