Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJakob Stoeck is a seasoned engineering leader with 17 years of experience building high-performance, mission-critical systems and currently heads Payments Engineering at Grab, impacting billions of transactions across Southeast Asia. He combines an M.Sc. in Information Systems from TUM with hands-on coding in Java, Node.js, Python, PHP and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), and a proven track record scaling distributed teams of 100+ engineers across multiple countries. Previously a Director of Technology at a major German sports broadcaster and co-founder/CTO of a gaming startup with 350k active users, he moves comfortably between enterprise and startup contexts. Fluent in four languages and experienced in interdisciplinary staffing, he balances pragmatic legacy operations with selective innovation and big-data-driven product decisions. Not obvious from the title: he’s led both consumer-facing homepage personalization and merchant-facing super-app products, giving him rare end-to-end product-to-payments perspective.
