requirements. You and
the team will drive the high-stakes execution of user migrations between different PSPs and payment licenses, all while maintaining the scalable, resilient core platform that ensures smooth payment account lifecycle for the entire Vinted Marketplace. This is a fast-paced environment at the beginning of our journey, so we embrace uncertainty. We're constantly building new services and evolving existing ones, with experimentation being a key.
