WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

At IKEA we strongly believe that we can help people and the planet while creating an affordable and better everyday life at home.

Believing it is our responsibility 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 thrive when meeting incredible people who are on the same mission at IKEA. People who are very humble, supportive, and committed to leading into the future and creating a better life for more of the many people by putting the customers and their homes at the heart of all we do.

WHO YOU ARE

Curiosity and a love for tinkering define the approach. There's a strong belief that collaboration is more powerful than working in isolation. While holding opinions, the willingness to change based on new data is a core value. Leading by example is important, and energy comes from seeing others succeed through shared efforts. Actively seeking solutions is preferred over waiting for them to appear. Constantly looking for ways to improve systems, processes, or the team is second nature, and IKEA values resonate deeply. Whether through formal education or self-learning, staying up to date on best practices in software engineering is a priority. There is no fear in questioning personal assumptions, and a history of flexibility and ownership over systems is evident. Software delivery is intentional, with a focus on creating well-functioning ecosystems, democratic

data, smart infrastructure, and resiliency.
