About this work area
Hi, my name is Megha and I’m an Engineering manager in Fulfilment and core services at Ingka Digital (IKEA). 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 building demand legend solution as an event-driven cloud architecture. 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.
Demand Legend– 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 demands. 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!
WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO HAVE
Who you are
You’re a seasoned engineer with a passion for building globally scalable, 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, cloud development, and the tools that come with it. Perfect code doesn’t exist, but you still chase it, without giving up on delivering customer.
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:
• Minimum 7 years of professional experience as software engineer with similar level of experience in the specific tech stack for the area.
• Experience designing or architecting (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems.
• Provide strong technical foresight and mentoring to the team
• Cloud experience, GCP preferred, Alibaba Cloud is also of interest
• Docker, Kubernetes, or other container technologies using modern DevOps practices
• Go, Java or similar programming language experience writing well-designed, efficient code
• 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
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.

If this is part of why you hesitate to apply, we would like you to reconsider and give it a chance. Maybe your profile fits our needs much better than you think. We look forward to receiving your application.
