Software Engineering Manager at Google
Austin, Texas, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWilliam Gerber is a seasoned software engineering manager with over 18 years across on-prem, hosted, and cloud-native systems, currently leading engineering at Google from Austin. He combines hands-on technical depth—spanning GCP, Kubernetes, Bigtable, Dataflow, Docker, and large-scale ETL—with a collaborative leadership style that drives ownership, high velocity, and pragmatic trade-offs between time-to-market, cost, and quality. At Zenoss he delivered the company’s first cloud-native product on a fixed schedule and established SLI/SLO practices, and earlier roles show a track record of performance tuning, data-warehouse/ETL design, and reliable incident resolution. Equally comfortable in architecture and stakeholder-facing roles, he has built teams from the ground up and translated vague ideas into concrete requirements and measurable SLAs. A detail that often goes unnoticed: he pairs enterprise-grade engineering with UX-driven product work, having led user journey and prototype efforts to modernize interfaces alongside backend modernization.
