Job Description:

We are looking for true team players who think like engineers but act like product makers. 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. We care deeply about solving real user problems and delivering measurable business value, not just writing code.

Job Responsibility:

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
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
Communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
Participate actively in product planning and prioritisation discussions
Mentor other engineers and contribute to our engineering culture
