The People Domain We enable Ingka and our people to grow sustainably, through modern & efficient human resource technology, leading the group’s digital agenda in sub-domains involving Talent, Total Rewards, People Management and People Planning.

Who you are

You’re a seasoned engineer with a passion for building smart, automatically tested, and well-functioning systems. You want to grow yourself and help others to grow, you are not afraid to ask nor to share, you want to do the right thing! You know your best practices, microservice architecture, testing, automation, and cloud development, and the tools that come with it. Perfect code doesn’t exist, but you still chase it, without giving up on delivering value. Our landscape is huge, there are many domains and subdomains you will work with, so you need to understand how to reach out to people and reach consent – all whilst knowing that perfect is the enemy of good. You always have a big backlog, but you have a good understanding of what adds value now and what can wait, and you can explain your thoughts to others.

• 2+ years of experience in Go, Java or similar programming language experience writing well-designed, efficient code
• Cloud experience, GCP preferred, Alibaba Cloud is also of interest
• Docker, Kubernetes, or other container technologies using modern DevOps practices

• In-depth understanding of design patterns with strong technical aptitude

• Security concepts especially around the cloud
