About This Role

As a Software Engineer, you will develop next-generation laboratory information management systems (LIMS), customer portals, e-commerce platforms, and mobile apps that directly support Eurofins' global testing operations. Your work will streamline critical workflows, enabling faster and more accurate analytical results for clients worldwide.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

You'll start with a stand-up meeting to align with your team on tasks.

  • Proven ability to design and implement end-to-end web applications with strong front-end skills (TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3).
  • Deep understanding of SOLID principles, design patterns, and n-tier architectures, with experience in unit testing and code reviews.
  • Familiarity with MSSQL, TFS, and Azure development is a plus, as is experience in LIMS or lab-related systems.

3

If you have Azure experience, detail it clearlyโ€”this is a preferred skill and sets you apart.

4

Showcase your knowledge of SOLID principles and design patterns by describing how you applied them in past work.

5

Tailor your resume to include keywords from the job description like 'code quality', 'unit testing', and 'n-tier architecture'.
