    • Ability to coach and motivate peers and support a collaborative team culture
    • A proactive mindset aligned with IKEA values: togetherness, simplicity, and improving everyday life for many people

    Together as a team

    The Connectivity services team is a small but growing group of seven 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 Connectivity services 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.
