Software Security Engineer, Group Digital, Ingka Group

Have you asked yourself what are the challenges of creating secure software? What do we mean by software security and why do we struggle with it? Then you could be the one we are looking for!
At IKEA we are building, integrating, and using software to solve complex problems. To fulfill our IKEA vision: “a better everyday life for the many people” we need to make sure that the software we create, and use must be safe, for both our customers and co-workers.
We are looking for a software engineer with security interest to join the Software Security Capability to help us reach new heights in software security.
What you will do:
Empower and lead teams through their software security journey.
Identify threats and countermeasures through various security activities, i.e. Threat modeling.
Devise strategies together with software development teams on how to integrate security into software development.
Be an integral part of how software security works today and in the future at IKEA.

Who you are?
We are looking for people to join us who share and are passionate about our IKEA culture and values, which play a major part in our business and day to day work life. For you to thrive and grow with IKEA, it’s important that you naturally lead with our values in mind - such as togetherness, renew and improve, simplicity, different with a meaning and caring for people and planet amongst others. You can read more about our values and life at IKEA at ikea.com.
We expect that you understand the complexities in security and risk mitigations in software development that manifest themselves in complex and distributed systems. You know that things are not black and white. You are curious, open minded and can work independently towards a common goal.
What we hope that you bring to the table:
Experience in software architecture.
Experience of software development in several languages, preferably with Ci/CD knowledge as well
Experience in cloud native applications and preferably Google Cloud.
Experience in software security – Either by similar Software/Application security positions or experience writing secure software as a developer.
