We keep every IKEA store, warehouse, and office connected so our co-workers can focus on what matters.

    • Contribute to initiatives that strengthen the organization’s network and security posture, helping ensure services meet operational and compliance requirements.
    • Work closely with infrastructure, platform, and application teams to support secure connectivity between data centers, cloud environments, and enterprise locations.
    • Participate in the rollout and ongoing improvement of segmentation strategies and identity-aware access controls that protect applications and workloads.
    • Troubleshoot and resolve network and security issues in data center environments, helping maintain stability, performance, and service availability.
    • Follow established architecture standards and best practices while contributing feedback and practical improvements from day-to-day operations.

    • Experience working with enterprise network or security platforms in data centers or large-scale infrastructure environments.
    • An interest in modern security concepts such as microsegmentation, Zero Trust architectures, network policy enforcement, and secure access controls.
    • Experience supporting security platforms, management systems, or related infrastructure in production environments.
    • Familiarity with automation tools such as Python or Ansible, or a willingness to learn and use them to improve operational efficiency.
    • Experience using Git or other version-control systems in collaborative engineering environments.
    • Curiosity and strong troubleshooting skills, with the ability to analyze complex technical issues and work toward practical solutions.
    • Ability to collaborate with colleagues across teams, functions, and locations, with clear and open communication.
    • A team-oriented mindset, with a willingness to share knowledge and support others.
    • A proactive attitude aligned with values such as simplicity, togetherness, and continuous improvement.

    Together as a team

    The Central Connectivity team is a small but growing group of nine engineers. In this role, you will collaborate across IKEA’s global infrastructure to design, build, and automate network services for stores, warehouses, and offices worldwide. You will play a key role in transforming how connectivity is delivered, making it efficient, scalable, and automated.

    You will work closely with colleagues across Central Connectivity and other teams, sharing expertise, tackling challenges, and delivering solutions that have a real impact. Togetherness is central at IKEA - by combining our skills and passion, we create meaningful results for our global network.

    Questions and support? Let's connect!

    This role is based in Helsingborg or Älmhult, Sweden, and you will report to the Engineering Manager of the Central Connectivity team.

    In this recruitment there is no relocation support provided by IKEA, hence we're looking for people already living in the mentioned location.

    In line with our value of togetherness we believe the best way for us to collaborate and co-create is when we meet in the office. This is why we expect you to spend the majority of time in the office.

    If you have any questions about the recruitment process, please reach out to Tech Recruiter Ashurina Aorahim at ashurina.aorahim@ingka.com.

    Studies show that members of underrepresented communities are less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet 100% of the qualifications. If you’re hesitating, we encourage you to apply—you may be a perfect fit in ways you don’t yet realize.
