at Eurofins

๐Ÿข 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 impact food safety, environmental protection, and pharmaceutical quality. The company's mission-driven approach offers engineers the chance to build software that directly supports scientific testing and regulatory compliance worldwide.

About This Role

This Senior Software Engineer role involves modernizing legacy systems and developing both WPF desktop applications and Angular web applications to support Eurofins' analytical testing services. You'll be instrumental in migrating systems to cloud-ready architectures while maintaining critical applications used by scientists and lab technicians globally. Your work will directly enhance the efficiency and reliability of testing processes that ensure product safety and environmental health.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

A typical day involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to design and develop features for WPF desktop applications used by laboratory technicians, while simultaneously working on Angular-based web interfaces for data visualization. You might spend time refactoring legacy code to .NET Core, integrating RESTful APIs with backend services, and participating in modernization planning sessions to transition systems to cloud-ready architectures.

๐ŸŽฏ Who Eurofins Is Looking For

  • Has 4-8 years of hands-on .NET development experience with proven expertise in both WPF (using MVVM and XAML) and Angular for full-stack capabilities
  • Demonstrates experience with system modernization projects, particularly migrating legacy applications to modern web or cloud architectures
  • Possesses strong backend skills with REST APIs, SQL Server, and ORM tools (Entity Framework or NHibernate), plus familiarity with WCF services for legacy integration
  • Shows interest in or experience with scientific, laboratory, or regulated industry software where accuracy and compliance are critical

๐Ÿ“ Tips for Applying to Eurofins

1

Highlight specific modernization projects in your resume, detailing your role in migrating legacy systems to .NET Core or cloud architectures

2

Showcase both WPF desktop and Angular web development experience with concrete examples, as this role requires expertise in both

3

Mention any experience with regulated industries (pharma, environmental, food safety) or scientific applications, as this aligns with Eurofins' domain

4

Quantify your impact in previous rolesโ€”e.g., 'improved application performance by X%' or 'reduced legacy system downtime by Y hours'

5

Tailor your application to emphasize how your skills support Eurofins' mission of safer, healthier environments through reliable software

โœ‰๏ธ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

["Explain your experience with .NET modernization projects and how you've successfully migrated legacy systems to modern frameworks", 'Highlight your dual expertise in WPF desktop applications and Angular web development, providing specific examples of projects using both', "Connect your background to Eurofins' mission by discussing any experience with scientific, laboratory, or compliance-driven software", "Demonstrate understanding of the role's impact by mentioning how your work can support analytical testing services and global operations"]
