    As a Systems Engineer, you’ll be at the forefront of driving innovation and efficiency within our global network landscape. Working alongside a team of dedicated engineers, you’ll design and implement secure, reliable, and automated solutions that lay the foundation for IKEA’s digital future. If you’re passionate about automation, problem-solving, and working in a collaborative, value-driven environment, this is the role for you!

    What you'll be doing day to day

    • Manage and maintain critical Network Services such as IPAM, DNS, and DHCP.
    • Develop and implement Network Automation using tools like Ansible/AWX to enhance efficiency and scalability.
    • Integrate and maintain Network inventory through automation and APIs.
    • Collaborate with internal network teams and external stakeholders to streamline service delivery and improve time-to-market.
    • Troubleshoot and optimize Network infrastructure to ensure high availability and performance.
    • Continuously seek opportunities to improve processes, tools, and automation based on stakeholder feedback.
    • Foster a culture of knowledge-sharing and continuous learning.

    You ideally have:

    • Hands-on experience in Network Automation using Ansible and AWX.
    • Proven experience in managing IPAM, DNS, and DHCP systems.
    • Knowledge of scripting (Python, Bash) and experience in Linux environments (a plus).
    • Experience working with Network APIs, and ideally, the ability to develop APIs for integration.
    • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot complex network issues.
    • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to engage with teams across different functions.
    • A proactive mindset and alignment with IKEA’s values of togetherness, simplicity, and a desire to create a better everyday life.

    Together as a team

    The Connectivity Services team consists of six engineers, and we are the backbone of IKEA’s global network, managing critical systems like DNS/DHCP, Network monitoring, Firewall Orchestration, and Network Inventory. As part of our small, autonomous team, you’ll drive innovation and automation while collaborating to solve challenges and improve our services. At IKEA, togetherness is key—we combine our expertise and passion to create reliable, forward-thinking solutions that make a real impact.

    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 Connectivity Services and Operations 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.
