About this work area

We are building a seamless payment experience for many people. Therefore, we are searching for engineers who are excited about technology and

Words from the manager:

"We are a super talented and helpful team that embraces the IKEA values of “Togetherness” and “Give and take responsibility”. We embrace the
learnings from failure as much as success, encourage experimentation and know that by backing each other up, we can move mountains.
The team is responsible for the full product lifecycle and that pushes us even more to keep a high standard in our deliveries.
Everything we do is with the customer in mind and since payments are one of the last functions to interact with the customers in their shopping
