Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolThomas Voß is a Senior Staff Software Engineer (SRE) at Google with a decade of experience architecting cloud-native, client-to-cloud systems and operational reliability. He blends deep systems engineering—spanning Kubernetes, Istio/Envoy service meshes, and NewSQL/time-series platforms—with practical security and backend expertise demonstrated in contributions to projects like StackRox and the Anbox container-based Android runtime. Thomas has driven platform rearchitectures at scale (AirMap) and led OS- and device-facing architecture at Canonical, showing a rare combination of low-level client work and large-scale cloud design. A computer scientist with roots in machine learning research, he pairs production-grade engineering with an experimental mindset, often tackling build, compilation and cross-platform integration challenges. Based in Bochum, Germany, he brings both hands-on coding and strategic architecture skills, and is noted for shipping pragmatic fixes that improve build systems and security integrations across open-source ecosystems.
