Hej, my name is Igor, I work as an Engineering Manager within the Order Promise and Allocation subdomain at IKEA. One of the products we are working on is focused on creating a seamless shopping experience across selling channels by providing visibility and full transparency on our stock availability. We do this by creating a flexible availability engine with which co-workers can choose the stocks they want to make available for sales. With hundreds of fulfilment locations across the world and over 10 million people visiting ikea.com daily, we focus on stability, reliability, availability, and correctness of our data. Are you a software engineer who wants to join our team and be part of shaping the future of IKEA?

WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN IKEA

At IKEA we strongly believe that we can help people and the planet, while creating an affordable and better everyday life at home. We believe that it is our responsibility together to find a greater purpose and create space to innovate. We believe that innovation comes from daring to fail; these stories inspire us to explore and dare to try again.

We believe that we thrive when meeting incredible people that are on the same mission at IKEA. People who are very humble, supportive, and absolutely committed to lead into the future and create a better life for more of the many people by putting the customer and their homes at the heart of all we do.

At IKEA, you’re welcome no matter where you come from, what you believe, and what you look like. We do not even care how you have furnished your home. We are interested in you simply because you are you. Our different views, backgrounds, and personalities make us better understand our customers, give us more fun at work and spark more and better ideas.

WHO YOU ARE

You are curious and you love tinkering. You believe together is better than apart. You have opinions, but you are happy to change your mind if new data contradicts the assumptions. You love leading by example and you get energy when those around you succeed through your efforts. You believe in finding a solution actively rather than passively waiting for the solution to come to you. You are always constantly on the lookout for new ways to improve the system, the processes, or the team. The IKEA values resonate with you. Regardless of whether you have had advanced education in computer science or if you have learned software engineering through other means, you keep up to date on current best practices. You are unafraid to question your own assumptions about the world and have a track record of flexibility and end-to-end ownership of systems, from the customer to the database. You are deliberate in the software you deliver, and focus on well-functioning software ecosystems, democratic data, smart infrastructure, and resiliency.

The IKEA culture and values are the core of our business and day to day work life. For you to thrive and grow with IKEA it is important for us that you share our values!
