What They Do

Deftpower B.V. is a private cleantech startup focused on developing software for integrating renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy into electric vehicle (EV) charging. Their technology includes an AI-supported SaaS platform and a white-label mobile application that enables smart charging, allowing vehicles to connect with networks, energy markets, and over 2,000 charging point operators across Europe. This allows them to reduce costs by up to 20% through dynamic pricing and prepare for vehicle-to-grid (V2G) functionality (source: cbinsights.com). Deftpower serves a wide range of clients, including e-mobility service providers, charging point operators, car manufacturers, energy suppliers, and grid operators, and has a platform that processes millions of transactions in 10 European countries (source: deftpower.com). Their products include a branded app for drivers that provides access to over 800,000 charging points, a business portal for electricity trading and fraud prevention, and developer APIs compatible with OCPI and ISO15118 protocols (source: deftpower.com).

Projects & Track Record

Deftpower has built an impressive track record by implementing its platform for over 40 clients managing widespread EV charging solutions. A notable project is the ongoing smart charging trial launched on May 15, 2025, in Amsterdam, designed as a potential model for global cities by optimizing grid load and renewable integration (source: cbinsights.com). Collaboration with over 40 EV brands and 2,000+ charging point operators strengthens their market position, although specific client names have not been disclosed (source: deftpower.com). Deftpower's platform is active in 10 European countries, focusing on expansion funded by their recent €12.5 million funding round (source: 4impact.vc).

Recent Developments

In the past two years, Deftpower secured €12.5 million in funding on August 29, 2025, led by Endeit Capital with participation from 4impact capital, Proeza Ventures, Rethink Mobility, and Jan Fredriks, supported by the EU's InvestEU Fund. This funding is intended to drive European expansion and AI enhancements for their platform (source: 4impact.vc). The Amsterdam smart charging trial, which began on May 15, 2025, marks a significant milestone in the practical implementation of their technology (source: cbinsights.com). So far, no acquisitions, mergers, awards, or additional certifications have been reported in the sources from 2024-2025, although CEO Jacob van Zonneveld's previous role in founding Plugsurfing (acquired by Fortum in 2018) highlights the continuity of leadership (source: vehicle-2-grid.eu).

Working at Deftpower

Deftpower currently has approximately 70 employees, growing from just over 50 previously. Roles include software development (API and backend for EV integrations), product management, sales, business development, customer service, and operations within engineering, IT, and cleantech functions in an agile team structure (source: 4impact.vc). The company has offices in Arnhem and Berlin, focusing on growth in EV software amid European expansion (source: deftpower.com). The company culture emphasizes technical excellence, rapid execution, and creating clarity from the chaos of the industry, with values aimed at stakeholder success, both economically and ecologically (source: deftpower.com). Specific benefits are not documented in public sources.

Job Description

At Deftpower, we're shaping the future of electric charging every single day. Our SaaS-platform helps businesses across Europe make charging simpler, smarter, and more sustainable. With AI and intelligent software, we make sure charging works seamlessly with the energy grid, creating a greener and more stable system for everyone.

We're growing fast, thanks to a recent major investment, and there's never a dull moment! We're expanding, improving our technology, and teaming up with companies in over ten countries.

As Cloud Security Engineer at Deftpower, you're the architect of our technical security. You build the foundation that lets us scale safely across Europe.

You'll work closely with Timo, your Team Lead, who currently holds the CISO role as well. Over time, we'd love to see you grow into that responsibility. You're the first in this role, which means you set the standard for how Deftpower scales securely: technically, practically, hands-on.

  • Design and maintain secure Azure cloud architectures: vNet, VPN, WAF, network appliances and access management via Entra ID
  • Automate security controls and improve monitoring, logging and alerting so incidents are detected and contained fast
  • Own incident response from detection through root cause analysis to structural improvement
  • Work with developers to embed security into the SDLC and raise the bar on secure coding practices
  • Identify risks early, think in attack scenarios and translate findings into concrete technical measures
  • Build security awareness across Deftpower. And of course not just with slide decks...

What your new colleagues say

Anja, Office Manager ''Everyone is incredibly committed and motivated to make something of Deftpower.''

Wierd, Teamlead Smart Charging "No politics, no unnecessary hierarchy. People say what they think and are honest."

Tim, Operations ''The connection between the charging pole, the car, and our app makes us unique. It's tangible technology anyone can understand.''

Timo, Team Lead "On day 1, after onboarding, you can already deliver something for a customer. You make impact very quickly."

For you

At Deftpower you'll find more than cutting-edge tech, you'll find a team that actually enjoys the ride! Colleagues say we are ambitious, friendly and flexible, with just the right amount of chaos to keep things interesting. Working at Deftpower is both rewarding and challenging. There are many moving parts, partners, suppliers, clients and we are a fast growing company that is still learning. You get support from talented colleagues and a management team that's close, approachable, and ready to roll up their sleeves. You get the space to shape your role, to take initiative, to make real decisions, test ideas, and yes, sometimes break things. We call it 'learning fast'...

  • Salary range: Between ???5000,- and ???6000,- a month
  • ???2.000 training budget per year to keep learning and growing.
  • Choose your own laptop to work with, up to ???1.750.
  • A flexible setup with hybrid working, short decision lines and a high level of trust.
  • All conditions such as holiday allowance, 25 vacation days, pension, etc.

About you

You're an engineer who builds things. You think in systems, not checklists. You like being the first to spot a problem and the first to fix it!

  • 5+ years of experience as a Security Engineer or Cloud Security Engineer
  • Deep knowledge of Azure security: vNet, VPN, WAF, Entra ID, Defender
  • Hands-on with Infrastructure as Code. You manage infrastructure the way engineers manage code
  • Experience with incident management: coordinating responses, root cause analysis and follow-through
  • Proactive, analytical and not afraid to challenge assumptions
  • Familiar with ISO 27001 as a technical framework, not a bureaucratic checkbox
  • Nice to have: CISSP, CISM or a comparable certification

Our values

Drive You love turning ideas into action. You take ownership, push projects forward and get energy from creating solutions that actually work in the real world.

Earnest You do the right thing, especially when no one's watching. You're respectful, honest and reliable, colleagues know they can count on you.

Forward thinking You're curious and not afraid to try new things. You experiment, learn fast and spot opportunities before others see them coming. Calculated risks? You're in.

Transparency You believe sharing is power. You communicate openly, give constructive feedback and make your work visible so the whole team can grow together.
