About the role

As the Tech Lead, you will leave your mark in many ways. The Tech Lead is a critical role within the digital transformation that IKEA is currently undergoing, so there is no more exciting time to join us than now. As a hands-on Tech Lead you will:

• Lead & influence the technical roadmap for a digital insight product in light of overall Data & Product technology and architecture roadmaps.
• Be responsible for the architecture of the product, making sure that technical and non-technical components work together in the product to deliver the customer needs.
• Lead and contribute to the hands-on Development and operations of the product. (60/40) split
• Steer the technical excellence of the application and consistency with relevant digital frameworks, best practices and standards.
• Coach, influence and enable other product team members to deliver best in class products.
• Ensure reusability of product components and contribute to relevant tech communities across IKEA.
• Work closely with product owner, data engineers, data scientists, or architects across IKEA as well as in your Agile product team.

Requirements

If you want to be part of a curious, creative environment that’s open to taking risks, this may be your new home.

As Tech Leader, you will have solid skills across full stack development, with a track record of developing, maintaining and operating digital analytics products. Experience around data processing, integration, modelling and visualization will be highly regarded.

You’ll bring a minimum of 5+ years of experience in leading teams (directly or indirectly) and demonstrate a breadth of knowledge across digital technology, digital infrastructure, IT services and digital steering frameworks.

You will apply what you know, bringing your Python and ETL systems (like Snaplogic, Airflow, Azure Databricks) experience in a Microservices & DevOps-focused environment. You'll create business Insights products by combining Data and Web technologies (React or Angular) with the help of architecture frameworks and tools like Github, Docker, Kubernetes, AKS. Ideally, you will have experience working with cloud-based and advanced analytics technologies (like MS Azure, Terraform, or others) and will be comfortable working in an agile environment.

We see leadership as an action, not a position. We’re looking for a hands-on, creative team player who can lead by example while finding simple solutions to complex Insights problems. Someone who can share their competence as well as mentor and lead others.
