System Specialist, IKEA IT

With more than 2 billion visits per year, IKEA.com is already today one of the largest retail websites in the world. On top of that we also currently run the largest multichannel programme in the world in order to support the company’s future growth through world class Internet presence!

The Web & Mobile Infrastructure Operations team, responsible for keeping the lights on for this massive site and programme, is operating right from the very heart of IKEA – Älmhult, Sweden! Despite the small size and location of this unique little town, the team has a very international atmosphere with co-workers originating from Sweden, England, Ireland, Iceland, India and Hungary.

Since the Internet is ever evolving we too need to be in constant change, ensuring that new capabilities and required acceleration, offload, security, and performance measures always are used on our Internet platforms and IKEA.com.

As appointed System Specialist for the Content Delivery Network area in our team you will be working together with a group of creative and driven individuals with a strong sense of togetherness and responsibility, who sees obstacles as “solutions waiting to be found”.

You are expected to stay up-to-date with current industry standards in order to help developing the service offer in this area towards future needs and requirements.
