How to Apply for Java Fullstack Developer
at Eurofins
🏢 About Eurofins
Eurofins is a global leader in analytical testing services, focusing on making environments safer, healthier, and more sustainable. Working here means contributing to meaningful projects that have real-world impact on food safety, environmental protection, and pharmaceutical quality. Their global presence and commitment to scientific excellence make them an attractive employer for developers who want their work to matter beyond just business applications.
About This Role
This Java Fullstack Developer role involves owning and driving the design and development of complex, enterprise-scale applications at Eurofins. You'll lead technical direction for modules while remaining hands-on with implementation, support modernization initiatives migrating from legacy systems, and serve as a technical mentor across teams. This position is impactful because you'll be building systems that directly support analytical testing services affecting global health and safety.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to design and implement Java-based solutions for analytical testing systems, with hands-on coding in Spring Boot backends and Angular/React frontends. You might spend time mentoring junior developers, participating in architectural discussions about modernizing legacy systems, and ensuring your code meets the performance and scalability requirements needed for global analytical data processing.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who Eurofins Is Looking For
- Has 6-10 years of hands-on Java development experience specifically on global or enterprise-scale projects, not just smaller applications
- Demonstrates strong practical experience with Java 8+, Spring/Spring Boot, RESTful APIs, SQL, Angular/React, and MongoDB in production environments
- Possesses experience with software modernization initiatives, particularly migrating from monolithic or legacy systems to modern architectures
- Can articulate experience with performance optimization, layered architectures, and has mentored other engineers in previous roles
