Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Vogel is a seasoned engineering leader with nearly two decades of experience building and scaling DevOps, cloud and release platforms across global, hybrid-cloud environments. As Director of Engineering at AppDirect he oversees 20 direct reports across four continents and owns the automated delivery platform that operates 36 Kubernetes clusters and multi-cloud footprints including AWS, Azure, GCP and on‑prem. He combines hands‑on architecture — from CI/CD buildpacks and GitOps pipelines to observability and event-driven data platforms — with strategic program ownership of compliance (SOC2, ISO27001, PCI), SLOs and infrastructure lifecycles. Known for lowering cognitive load and lead times for hundreds of developers, he has led large lift‑and‑shift migrations, created self‑serve internal developer experiences, and driven measurable productivity and reliability gains. Based in Burnaby, BC, he pairs deep technical craft with cross-functional influence at the executive level, and a track record of turning complex enterprise constraints into repeatable platform products.
