Top SchoolBill Amberg is a seasoned technology leader with 12 years of focused experience managing engineering teams and delivering user-facing video products across web, mobile, and connected TV platforms. As Senior Director of Technology at PBS, he blends hands-on engineering—recently building a livestream management console for 130+ stations—with hiring and product transformation, having hired 19 engineers in a single year. He has driven major shifts from contractor-led work to in-house teams, embraced CI/CD to increase release cadence dramatically, and helped launch revenue-generating features like PBS Passport. Comfortable coding in TypeScript, React, Python, Django, and Docker, Bill also leads an Innovation team that shipped PBS’s first VR experience. He pairs a practical, product-first mindset with operational know-how across AWS and media workflows, making him effective at both strategic planning and day-to-day delivery. Based in Washington, DC, he’s equally at home mentoring engineers and rolling up his sleeves to write production code.
