๐ข About Eurofins
Eurofins is a global leader in analytical testing, dedicated to promoting safer, healthier, and more sustainable environments. Their remote-friendly culture and commitment to innovation make them an attractive employer for engineers who want to contribute to meaningful environmental and health outcomes.
About This Role
As a Software Engineer on a Scrum team, you will design and deliver end-to-end solutions using Microsoft Stack technologies, directly impacting Eurofins' laboratory and data management systems. Your work will help streamline testing processes and ensure data accuracy, supporting the company's mission of sustainability and safety.
๐ก A Day in the Life
Start your day with a daily Scrum stand-up to discuss progress and blockers. Then, you'll dive into coding tasksโperhaps building a new REST API endpoint or developing an Angular component for lab data visualization. After lunch, you might pair with a QA engineer to review test cases or participate in a sprint planning session. The day ends with code reviews and documenting your work for the team.
๐ Application Tools
๐ฏ Who Eurofins Is Looking For
- Proven 3+ years of hands-on experience with .NET, C#, MVC, WebAPI, Entity Framework, and SQL Server, delivering scalable solutions.
- Strong proficiency in Angular (preferably 14+), TypeScript, and modern front-end practices, with a portfolio of responsive web applications.
- Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams, with a collaborative mindset and ability to break down complex requirements into actionable tasks.
- A problem-solver who proactively identifies edge cases, provides technical recommendations, and continuously learns new technologies.
๐ Tips for Applying to Eurofins
Tailor your resume to highlight specific Microsoft Stack projects, including .NET, C#, and Angular versions you've usedโmention Angular 14+ if possible.
In your cover letter, explicitly connect your past work to Eurofins' mission of sustainability and safety, e.g., a project that improved data accuracy or efficiency.
Showcase your Scrum experience by describing a specific sprint where you delivered a complex feature under tight deadlines.
Include a link to your GitHub or portfolio with a sample Angular/.NET project that demonstrates clean code and RESTful API integration.
Research Eurofins' recent news or blog posts about digital transformation in lab testing and mention how your skills can contribute.
โ๏ธ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
['Emphasize your end-to-end development experience with Microsoft Stack and Angular, providing concrete examples of delivered solutions.', 'Highlight your Agile collaboration skills, especially how you work with cross-functional teams to understand requirements and ensure quality.', "Express enthusiasm for Eurofins' mission and how your technical contributions can support safer, healthier environments.", "Mention your commitment to continuous learning and adaptability to new technologies, aligning with the role's long-term objective."]
