Senior Cloud & Azure SQL Database Engineer

At Deftpower we're looking for a Database Engineer to join our team.

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.

The Deftpower platform is built in C#/.NET. We are heavily using Azure Functions to keep our platform as scalable as possible. We adopt a microservice architecture where services communicate with each other mainly via the Azure Service Bus. Data storage is done in a variety of ways, but Cosmos and Azure SQL databases are used most. Monitoring and logging is done with Application Insights and Grafana as well as Power

BI dashboards. The portal that interacts with the backend is written in Angular, while our mobile applications are developed in React Native. In general, we use Azure's PaaS components wherever possible to stay up to date and ready for scale.

You’ll be our very first Database Engineer, the person who makes sure our data stays fast, clean and reliable while everything around it grows like crazy. Our platform is handling millions of transactions every day. As we scale, you’ll be the one keeping our Microsoft SQL and Azure SQL databases secure.

You make sure data never slows us down. You’ll monitor performance, automate what can be automated and keep our systems safe and steady. When a query drags or a dashboard lags, you already know where to look.

• Design and maintain scalable Azure SQL and Microsoft SQL databases that run 24/7 without drama
• Build smart backup and recovery setups
• Keep data secure and compliant, working closely with our Security Officer Timo
• Collaborate with developers in Platform, Roaming, Transaction and Smart Charging to keep data flowing smoothly between teams
• Set the standard for how we structure and manage databases as we grow

• Salary range:
  Between €5500,- and €6800,- a month
• Choose your own laptop to work with
• A flexible setup: hybrid working, short decision lines and trust
• All conditions such as holiday allowance, 25 vacation days, pension, etc.

You’re the kind of person who gets energy from clean data, fast queries and elegant systems. You like solving puzzles that no one else even sees. You thrive in a fast-growing, tech-driven environment and enjoy working with a team that values innovation, transparency and impact. At Deftpower you succeed when you combine technical expertise with curiosity and collaboration.

• 5+ years of experience with Microsoft SQL and Azure SQL (cloud or on-prem)
• Know Azure PaaS inside out: tuning, scaling, automating, securing
• You like collaborating with developers and helping teams use data smarter
• You have a valid work visa for the Netherlands and can join us in Arnhem a few times a week
• You are a match with our values! Drive, Earnest, Forward thinking and Transparency.
