In a nutshell
Overall Objectives
Eurofins is actively implementing standardized processes across its various Laboratories, with a particular focus on its Information Systems (EurIS). Central to this effort is the indispensable regional web-based Customer Relationship Management application known as ADMS.
The primary goal of this position is to become an integral part of the ADMS Development Team based in Dublin, comprising five local members in addition to offshore team members. As a member of this team, you will play a crucial role in driving both technical advancements and functional enhancements.
The ADMS Development Team operates at the forefront of technology, leveraging robust modelling techniques such as Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and Unified Modelling Language (UML), alongside cutting-edge tools and frameworks including C#, .NET, MS SQL Server, and Angular. We follow Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) integration patterns, with expertise in REST and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) implementations. Adhering to Agile / DevOps methodologies, Quality Assurance is paramount, supported by a rigorous test strategy encompassing Test-Driven Development (TDD) and Behavior-Driven Development (BDD), while harnessing the power of Platform as a Service (PaaS) and DevOps technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, Azure DevOps, and Octopus for efficient deployment and management of our solutions.
Key Responsibilities
- Act as an experienced Software Engineer in Tests, initially within a Scrum team of 5 collocated developers and 2 offshore QAs.

- Adhere to Agile/Scrum values and principles, particularly by participating in team meetings (stand-ups, backlog refinement, acceptance criteria refinement) and performing incremental testing of the application.
- Bring the Quality Assurance perspective to requirements, ensuring both functional and non-functional acceptance criteria are met, with particular attention to corner cases, boundary cases, performance, and basic security.
- Follow continuous delivery principles, ensuring the quality and automation of ADMS test suites for both acceptance and deployment testing. Ensure automated tests are systematically executed as part of the CI/CD pipeline at acceptance and deployment stages.
- Adhere to test strategies and test plans to ensure high-quality product delivery, challenging them when necessary.
- Collaborate with developers, QA engineers, architects, development managers, and business analysts to achieve comprehensive test coverage and quality.
- Leverage strong communication skills, team spirit, and a collaborative mindset to act as a bridge between business analysts, QA engineers, and developers.
Other Assignments
- Ensure follow-up to the Team Manager on a regular basis and as often as requested.
- Acquire rapidly a working knowledge of Eurofins EurIS systems, starting with ADMS, underlying concepts and models, as well as the processes and practices of the team.
- Deepen that knowledge on a continuous basis, guided by the most pressing needs of assigned functions.
- Develop appropriate working relationships with IT and non-IT target groups in Eurofins.
