From the food you eat, to the water you drink, to the medicines you rely on, Eurofins laboratories work with the biggest companies in the world to ensure the products they supply are safe, their ingredients are authentic and labelling is accurate. The Eurofins network of companies believes that it is a global leader in food, environment, pharmaceutical and cosmetic product testing and in discovery pharmacology, forensics, advanced material sciences and AgroScience contract research services. It is also one of the market leaders in certain testing and laboratory services for genomics, and in the support of clinical studies, as well as in biopharma contract development and manufacturing. It also has a rapidly developing presence in highly specialised and molecular clinical diagnostic testing and in-vitro diagnostic products.

Job Description Job Title: Software Architect – Java Work Location: Bangalore Work mode: Hybrid Eurofins Forensic Services, operating in UK, Netherlands, France, Germany and Belgium, sits at the core of European criminal justice systems, acting as the trusted scientific partner to police forces and courts, and providing critical evidence that enables fair and accurate outcomes in serious criminal investigations. For software engineers, this is a rare opportunity to build systems where code directly impacts real-world justice supporting DNA analysis, Forensic Case Management, and forensic workflows that can identify suspects and strengthen legal decision-making. The UK forensic ecosystem remains one of the most advanced globally, combining cutting-edge science, strict regulatory standards, and continuous innovation; advances in data science, AI, and trace analysis are actively transforming how evidence is detected, interpreted, and used in investigations. As part of the acquisition of Qualitype, Eurofins’ internal model already emphasises the integration of software development, quality engineering, and forensic domain expertise, giving engineers direct exposure to highly specialized scientific applications rarely found in traditional tech roles. A compelling real-world example is the re‑analysis of cold cases using modern DNA techniques—some decades old—which have led to successful convictions years later, demonstrating how advances in forensic technology can fundamentally change investigative outcomes and deliver long-overdue justice. In short, a role at Eurofins Forensics offers a unique combination of technical challenge, societal impact, and domain depth—where engineers are not just building software, but enabling a system that underpins public safety and the pursuit of truth. Eurofins Forensic Services is a leading provider of forensic science to police forces and the criminal justice system across the UK and Europe. Our work plays a critical role in delivering justice, supporting investigations, and protecting communities. Through advanced laboratory techniques and innovative digital solutions, we analyse complex evidence that helps solve serious crime and safeguard the public. Eurofins Forensic Services combines cutting-edge technology with forensic science to support law enforcement agencies across the UK and Europe. Our systems and platforms underpin the analysis of complex forensic evidence at scale, enabling faster, data-driven investigations. Joining Eurofins means contributing to technology that has a direct, real-world impact on criminal justice and public safety.
