Software Engineer

Hej Software Engineer,

Would you like to help make IKEA communication understandable and accessible to people around the world?

At IKEA, language connects people, markets and ideas. Within Translation Management in Enabling Functions, we develop the digital solutions that help IKEA content move across languages efficiently and consistently. Our work supports the people who create, manage and translate content - and ultimately helps IKEA communicate clearly with co-workers and customers across many different markets.

We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our team. You will work in a collaborative, international environment alongside software engineers, business specialists and other colleagues who bring different perspectives and areas of expertise. The role will be based in Malmö and belong to Inter IKEA Technology Services AB. We believe that your presence with the team and working the majority of the time in the workplace is important.

We value curiosity, openness and people who are comfortable asking questions. You do not need to know everything when you arrive. What matters is that you enjoy learning, sharing what you know and working with others to solve real problems.

Your new job

As a Software Engineer in Translation Management, you will help develop and improve the tools and services that support translation and localisation across IKEA.

This is not only about writing code. You will take part in understanding user needs, exploring possible solutions and making thoughtful technical decisions together with the team. You will contribute throughout the development process—from shaping an idea and building a solution to testing, releasing and improving it over time.

You will work with systems that support complex content and translation flows across IKEA. That means balancing usability, performance, maintainability and business needs while keeping the people using our solutions at the center.

In your day-to-day work, you will:

• Design, build and maintain reliable software solutions
• Work across the technology stack, depending on the needs of the product
• Collaborate closely with colleagues from both technology and business
• Turn real user needs into practical technical solutions
• Contribute to technical discussions and decisions
• Review code and share knowledge within the team
• Help improve how we develop, test and deliver software
• Learn from mistakes, challenge existing ways of working and help the team grow

You will have room to bring your own ideas, try new approaches and influence both the solutions we build and how we work together.

• 5+ years of experience with Oracle Database, PostgreSQL, and MySQL, including data modelling, query optimisation, performance tuning, database administration, stored procedures, packages, and triggers.
