at Eurofins

🏢 About Eurofins

Eurofins is a global leader in analytical testing, with a mission to promote health, safety, and sustainability. Working here means contributing to impactful projects that ensure products are safe for people and the environment, all while being part of a diverse and innovative team.

About This Role

As a Full Stack Software Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of building and enhancing web applications that support Eurofins' testing services. You'll work with modern technologies like Angular and .NET Core to create scalable, high-performance solutions that directly impact the quality and efficiency of our operations.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start with a stand-up meeting to sync with your team, then you'll dive into coding Angular components or fixing bugs. Afternoons could involve collaborating with backend engineers on API integrations, reviewing code, and deploying updates to Azure. You'll also have time for learning and improving your skills.

🎯 Who Eurofins Is Looking For

  • Proficient in Angular (10+) with a strong portfolio demonstrating complex front-end applications and performance optimization.
  • Solid understanding of C# and .NET Core for backend API development, with experience in integrating front-end and back-end systems.
  • Hands-on experience with SQL databases and Azure cloud services, including deployment and management.
  • A problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced environment and can take ownership of features from design to deployment.

📝 Tips for Applying to Eurofins

1

Highlight specific Angular projects where you optimized performance, implemented state management (e.g., NgRx), or built reusable components.

2

Quantify your impact: e.g., 'Reduced page load time by 40%' or 'Improved API response time by 20%'.

3

Showcase your Azure experience, even if it's from a personal project or certification (e.g., Azure Fundamentals).

4

Tailor your resume to emphasize full-stack capabilities, not just front-end or back-end.

5

Include a link to your GitHub or portfolio with relevant code samples, especially Angular components or .NET APIs.

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

["Express your passion for building scalable, user-friendly applications and how your Angular skills align with Eurofins' need for rich front-end experiences.", 'Mention your ability to work independently and take ownership, as the role requires strong problem-solving.', 'Highlight your experience with .NET Core and Azure, showing you can handle the full stack.', "Connect your work to Eurofins' mission of safety and sustainability, showing you're motivated by their impact."]
