Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Jerovšek is an engineering leader with 13 years of hands-on software and management experience, currently shaping Merpay’s payment platform as an Engineering Manager of Managers in Tokyo. He blends deep technical fluency—from OpenCL GPGPU and Golang microservices to Python/Django backends and WebRTC front-ends—with a track record of shipping high-compliance financial systems and large-scale migrations. Robert has repeatedly bridged product and engineering: launching Merpay’s Funds Transfer Account, leading KYC and Cash I/O efforts during regulatory pressure, and establishing incident management and D&I programs across the organization. His background as a startup CTO and 500 Startups alum informs a pragmatic, growth-oriented approach to team building, cross-cultural hiring, and global product launches. Colleagues rely on him to dive into code when needed and to mentor future tech leads and managers, a balance he’s practiced across Japan, South Korea, and Europe.
