How to Apply for Senior Software Engineer

at Eurofins

🏢 About Eurofins

Eurofins is a global leader in analytical testing, with a mission to promote safer, healthier, and more sustainable environments. Working here means contributing to impactful projects that support laboratories worldwide, from food safety to pharmaceutical testing, all while leveraging cutting-edge tech.

About This Role

As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll build next-generation LIMS, customer portals, and e-commerce platforms that directly enable Eurofins' global lab operations. Your work will streamline critical workflows, improve data integrity, and enhance user experience for scientists and clients alike.

💡 A Day in the Life

You'll start with a stand-up meeting to sync with your Agile team, then dive into coding—perhaps building a new API endpoint for a customer portal or refactoring a legacy module. After lunch, you might review a peer's pull request, troubleshoot a production issue, or brainstorm architecture for a new LIMS feature with product managers.

🎯 Who Eurofins Is Looking For

  • You have 3-7 years of hands-on experience with the full Microsoft stack (.NET, C#, MVC, WebAPI, .NET Core) and can architect scalable web applications.
  • You are proficient in Angular 13+, TypeScript, and modern front-end practices, with a portfolio of responsive, high-performance UIs.
  • You understand SOLID principles and design patterns, and you've successfully applied them in Agile/SCRUM teams.
  • You have strong SQL skills (MSSQL) and are comfortable with TFS; Azure experience is a plus, showing you can work with cloud-native solutions.

📝 Tips for Applying to Eurofins

1

Highlight specific projects where you built end-to-end web apps using .NET Core and Angular—Eurofins values full-stack capability.

2

Mention any experience with LIMS, ERP, or CRM systems, even if not directly—it shows domain relevance.

3

Quantify your impact: e.g., 'Reduced page load time by 30%' or 'Migrated legacy MVC app to .NET Core'.

4

Tailor your resume to emphasize Agile experience and code quality practices (code reviews, unit testing).

5

If you have Azure experience, list specific services used (e.g., Azure DevOps, App Services) to stand out.
