Who are we?
Interested in joining a start-up that champions independent vintage furniture design? A company where "Sustainability" is not just a marketing term - but something that’s at the heart of the business model?
Vinterior is on a mission to become the most loved brand for vintage-lovers across the globe. In less than four years, we have become the leading vintage marketplace in the UK. With a community of over 1,800 vintage sellers that power 180,000 vintage products on the platform.
About the Product team
We’re currently a team of 9, comprising of 3 Full Stack Engineers, 4 Senior Full Stack Engineers, 1 Senior Product Designer and the Head of Engineering.
As a team, we encourage (but don't force) pairing. We love to experiment and are currently working in 6-week cycles similar to the process documented in the book Shape up by Basecamp.
We like to keep our tickets small and deploy early and often (we do multiple deploys every day).

Our culture
We are ambitious, hard-working, and dedicated to our mission. We know that building a global market leader will be hard, and we are excited about the challenges that we will encounter on the way. We do not give up.
We voice our opinions whatever our title or tenure. We speak openly and challenge each other directly in the pursuit of self-growth and development. We value impact over ‘looking good’. We hold ourselves to high standards, especially when it comes to offering the best service and product to our customers.
We are curious and insatiable learners. We experiment, share our failures openly and celebrate our successes with pride. We move fast, fail fast, learn fast.
If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, like the thrill of constant change, can manage the ups and downs that come with the startup journey then join us on this exciting adventure.
