Candidate profile (title) What you need to know

Candidate profile (text) - Default language As an MS Dynamics Lead Software Engineer, you will provide technical leadership across the Dynamics 365 platform and the product teams that use it. You will help ensure that solutions are designed and implemented consistently, securely and sustainably, while promoting reuse, modern engineering practices and alignment with IKEA’s wider technology ecosystem.

Your initial focus will be on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Case Management for our Contact Centers.

You will lead through expertise and collaboration, helping teams make good technical decisions and deliver value at pace.

Fluent English, both written and spoken, is essential, as English is the working language of the general platform team. Please submit with your application in English.
