Job description

At IKEA Home smart we develop smart products to enable a smarter life at home for people all over the world. We are curious and passionate about creating solutions that solve real-life problems and help people realize their dreams. All on their terms. Because we believe everyone deserves a smart home. To succeed, we look for new ways of integrating technology and digital solutions into furniture and life at home. We explore opportunities throughout the home and we work closely with other Business Areas to both drive transformation of existing range and develop new smart products to attract new customers to IKEA. We’re still at the beginning–there is lots more to come. 

We are now looking for the next teammate who is ready to take the IKEA Home Smart app to the next step. We are currently building the next generation of eco-system with our mobile application, cloud & backend services, and embedded systems. 

To be successful in this role, we believe you have

·  A couple of years of Kotlin experience, with a good understanding of modern Android design patterns (MVVM, dependency injection, etc) and constructions (Jetpack components, ViewModel, LiveData, etc

·  Good understanding of the Android application stack (lifecycle, view hierarchy, navigation, state keeping etc).
·  Good understanding of the developer testing infrastructure (Unit testing, mock frameworks, concurrency model testing etc)
·  Good understanding of user experience and related development patterns (vector drawables, view animations, transitions etc)
·  Previous experience of working in scrum teams. There is a generous onboarding process in the team, but team members are expected to soon take (shared) ownership of the codebase and the backlog.

A Typical day in your role:

·  Development of new features and enhancements for our IKEA Home Smart app
·  Cross-team collaboration between app, cloud & backend, and embedded systems
·  Bringing in third party open source tools as needed
·  Contribute to setting up and tuning the organization and ways of working

About IKEA  

At IKEA, we do things a little different. We think, differently. Act, differently. And work differently as well. We like to break things. Like rules. And then make things. Like music-playing lamps. And beds disguised as sofas. Even plantballs that help us look after our planet. It’s all part of our vision - to create a better everyday life for the many. And it’s been keeping our co-workers going for over 75 years. By 2030, we hope to help millions more look forward to going home. 

IKEA of Sweden, or IoS, is responsible for developing the IKEA range and making it available to stores and customers all over the world. IoS is based in Älmhult – the heart of IKEA and the center of IKEA range development.
