    • What you need to know

    We set the digital agenda to keep IKEA leading in an exciting and fast-moving environment. We drive the development, provision and operation of our digital products and services through the use of new and existing technology and agile delivery methods to deliver at pace. We are building, integrating and using software to solve complex problems. At the same time, we provide a home for digital skills to both develop and extend the technical, people and business skills needed to ensure continuous development and growth of our digital capability.

    To fulfill our IKEA vision, “a better everyday life for the many people,” we need to ensure that the software solutions we create, and use are sound and sustainable for both our customers and co-workers at large. The People Domain We enable Ingka and our people to grow sustainably, through modern & efficient human resource technology, leading the group’s digital agenda in sub-domains involving Talent, Total Rewards, People Management and People Planning.

    Who you are

    You’re a seasoned engineer with a passion for building smart, automatically tested, and well-functioning systems. You want to grow yourself and help others to grow, you are not afraid to ask nor to share, you want to do the right thing! You know your best practices, microservice architecture, testing, automation, and cloud development, and the tools that come with it. Perfect code doesn’t exist, but you still chase it, without giving up on delivering value. Our landscape is huge, there are many domains and subdomains you will work with, so you need to understand how to reach out to people and reach consent – all whilst knowing that perfect is the enemy of good. You always have a big backlog, but you have a good understanding of what adds value now and what can wait, and you can explain your thoughts to others.

    Below are preferred technical skills:

    • 8+ years of experience in Go, Java or similar programming language experience writing well-designed, efficient code
    • Cloud experience, GCP preferred, Alibaba Cloud is also of interest
    • Docker, Kubernetes, or other container technologies using modern DevOps practices
    • Sprint Boot microservices and API management
    • Event-driven architecture using tools like Kafka, Pub/Sub, etc.
    • Experience with a modern, fully automated development and deployment process
    • In-depth understanding of design patterns with strong technical aptitude
    • NoSQL and relational database technologies
    • Logging, alerting, tracing, and debugging in the cloud
    • Security concepts especially around the cloud

    We are looking for people to join us who share and are passionate about our IKEA culture and values which play a major part in our business and day-to-day work life. For you to thrive and grow with IKEA, it is important that you naturally lead with our values in mind such as togetherness, renew and improve, simplicity, different with a meaning and caring for people and planet. You can read more about our values and life at IKEA at ikea.com. You will be working from Bengaluru, India, with remote teams based in our hubs in Malmo & Helsingborg, Sweden.

    A day in your life with us

    We’re a unique company that gives you space to fit in and enables you to make use of your skills. Our systems are being used by over 170,000 co-workers and serve over 4 billion customers globally!

    We’re in the midst of the transformation from legacy monoliths to an event-driven cloud architecture. You wouldn’t have dealt with as many orders as go through our system (and if you have – talk to me!), so scalability becomes second nature, for both performance and cost.

    There are heaps of challenges in front of us, but we’re prepared and look forward to becoming truly agile with modern architecture – and maybe with your help.

    We’re not chasing shareholder value; we want to help the many people to have a better everyday life.
    Order Management – you might know it, or you might have no clue! Either is fine, as we’ll help you to get an understanding and find your ways around creating, executing, releasing, and deviating orders. This won’t get boring thanks to the many different flows and integrations in our omni-channel setup!

    We aim to have driven, empowered agile teams who understand priorities and how to come to agreements with other teams and domains. We’re all in this together and we try to help others and share our knowledge often.

    We want to become the best in class – yes, that’s a lofty goal, but why aim for less? If you feel the same then you’ll fit right in, come and help us push boundaries!

    We have values and we live them – they’re all important and I’m happy to share them with you in more detail, but these stand out for me: Togetherness, Simplicity, leading by example, and different with a meaning – get in touch and I can explain in detail!

    Together as a team

    We’re the ones who make it possible for people to have a smarter life at home and a hassle-free and rewarding shopping experience. Together we work to find new digital solutions for every business need to help make IKEA a great and efficient place to work. We like to think of ourselves as innovative and modern, and we believe that nothing would actually work without us.
