WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN IKEA
Hej, we are David, Álvaro and Germán. We lead the team as Engineering Managers at IKEA for Business and we want you to join us! Let us explain why.
We are looking for true team players who think like engineers but act like product makers. We care deeply about solving real user problems and delivering measurable business value, not
just writing code. We're curious problem-solvers who experiment, iterate, and always keep the customer at the centre of everything we build.
If you join us, you will own features end-to-end—from discovery to delivery to measuring impact. You will work in a multidisciplinary team (Product, Data, UX and Engineering) where
you'll have a seat at the table during product strategy discussions, helping shape what we build and why. You'll contribute to the design and development of IKEA's B2B global landscape, with direct impact on how businesses around the world experience IKEA.
WHO YOU ARE
We are looking for a passionate Senior Software engineers who get excited about understanding user needs and building solutions that create a measurable impact. You think about the "why" behind every feature, not just the "how." You're as comfortable analysing user behaviour data and running experiments as you are writing clean, scalable code.
Are you afraid of joining a big company? We work in agile, small \& personal, cross-functional teams where engineers are empowered to influence product decisions. Your voice matters! By encouraging ownership, experimentation, and data-driven decision-making, we make it easy for you to deliver real value to our users and business.
To succeed as a Product Engineer with us, you should:
Product Mindset \& Ownership:
Take end-to-end ownership of features—from understanding the problem through to measuring post-launch impact
Collaborate closely with Product Managers during discovery, contributing technical feasibility insights and creative solutions
Think in terms of user outcomes and business metrics, not just technical deliverables
Make data-driven decisions using analytics, user research, and experimentation
Be comfortable with ambiguity and helping define what to build, not just how to build it
Technical Excellence (Full-Stack):
Develop using Microservices technology (Docker, Kubernetes, Serverless, etc., especially in GCP)
Build software with modern web technologies: HTML/CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript,React/Angular/Vue
Work across the stack: frontend, backend (Python, Java, Node.js), and databases (SQL)
Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines with a DevOps mindset
Champion clean code, design patterns, and engineering best practices
Prototype rapidly to validate ideas before committing to full implementation
Experimentation \& Data-Driven Development:
Design and implement A/B tests and feature flags to validate hypotheses
Instrument applications for analytics and monitoring
Analyse user behaviour data to inform product decisions
Use metrics to measure success and iterate on solutions
Balance technical debt with feature velocity based on business priorities
Collaboration \& Communication:
Work seamlessly across app, cloud, backend, and embedded systems teams
Communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
Participate actively in product planning and prioritisation discussions
Mentor other engineers and contribute to our engineering culture
Bring in third-party open-source tools when they solve real problems
Innovation \& Learning:
Prototype new ideas independently and across teams (we love MVPs!)
Stay curious about emerging technologies and evaluate them for business value
Challenge assumptions and propose alternative approaches
Continuously learn and adapt to new tools, frameworks, and methodologies
WHAT'S THE ICING ON THE CAKE?
You will be a part of a great culture as well as our vision "to create a better everyday life for the many people" – for customers, but also for our co-workers and the people who work for our
suppliers. You will work and thrive in a truly people and planet-positive work environment. Some of the perks that we offer:
