Summary
Gerardo Viedma is a Senior Staff Software Engineer based in Austin with two decades of experience designing and operating large-scale distributed systems and cloud-native services. He has led architecture and engineering teams across startups and hyperscale cloud providers, most recently shaping FeatureBase PaaS at Molecula and driving Service Mesh, API Gateway, and Functions at Oracle Cloud Infrastructure before joining LinkedIn. Comfortable both as an individual contributor and technical leader, he has built multi-tenant, ultra-low-latency databases and production-grade managed services that handle massive traffic and observability demands. Early in his career he scaled Germany’s leading SSP as CTO, instituting CI/CD, big-data pipelines, and 24/7 operations that supported millions of users. Gerardo combines deep systems-level expertise (Envoy/Kubernetes, distributed databases, monitoring) with a pragmatic focus on operability and team scaling. Fluent across cloud architectures and platform engineering, he often surfaces product-level improvements from hands-on work in production systems.
