🏢 About Eurofins

Eurofins is a global leader in analytical testing services, focusing on making environments safer, healthier, and more sustainable. Working at Eurofins means contributing to meaningful projects that have real-world impact on food safety, environmental protection, and pharmaceutical testing.

About This Role

As a Senior Software Engineer at Eurofins India, you'll be developing end-to-end web applications using the Microsoft stack (.NET, C#, Angular, MS SQL) to support analytical testing services globally.

You'll likely participate in technical discussions with other Eurofins IT teams globally and occasionally interact with user groups to understand their analytical testing needs. The role balances independent problem-solving with team collaboration and cross-functional relationship building.
