Overview
HeyDonto builds reliable data pipelines that connect fragmented healthcare platforms to modern APIs. We synchronize and standardize data from both on-premise and cloud-based EHR systems into clean, interoperable formats. Our mission is simple: make healthcare data work the way software should — predictably, securely, and without silos.
The Role
As a Distinguished Engineer (L7) in the DevOps Tribe, you’ll define and evolve the infrastructure that powers HeyDonto’s ecosystem—from Kubernetes clusters and Terraform modules to developer tooling and multi-environment automation. You’ll lead through technical depth, setting standards for reproducibility, reliability, and cloud portability across every environment.
What You’ll Do
- Architect and evolve multi-environment infrastructure across GKE, CloudSQL, Confluent, Temporal, and Cloudflare, encoded in reusable Terraform modules and remote state.
- Lead deployment automation strategy — CLI orchestration and Helm releases — to keep clusters converged deterministically across environments.
- Design and enforce the secrets lifecycle integrating Terraform outputs, SOPS, and 1Password for secure, auditable rotation and distribution.
- Define and implement automated drift detection, IAM regression suites, and compliance guardrails for infrastructure reliability.
- Own the CUE-based configuration system that exports Compose stacks, environment templates, secrets, and Helm values through just export-cue.
- Shape environment parity and portability — abstract provider specifics behind clear interfaces (DNS, storage, ingress, identity) to reduce lock-in and enable repeatable deployments across clouds
- Standardize vendor-neutral telemetry with OpenTelemetry and consistent log/metric conventions to keep observability portable.
- Establish portable identity patterns (OIDC, workload identity, least-privilege IAM mappings) that translate across providers.
- Mentor senior engineers, codify expectations in documentation and tooling, and steward technical decisions across tribes.
- Lead incident response and RCA, strengthening feedback loops between SRE and development teams.
Tech You’ll Work With
- Languages: TypeScript, Python, Bash
- Infrastructure: Terraform (multi-provider), Helm, Kubernetes (GKE primary; portable to other managed K8s), Temporal Cloud, Confluent Cloud, Cloudflare
- Cloud-Agnostic Interfaces: OpenTelemetry, OIDC/OAuth2, CSI/Ingress abstractions, external-DNS patterns, OCI registries
- Configuration: CUE, Just, Docker Compose, SOPS, 1Password, env templates
- CI/CD: GitHub Actions, Conventional Commits, automated drift and policy checks
What We Value
- Clarity over cleverness — explicit, predictable systems.
- Idempotency, type safety, and observability in everything we build.
- Portability by design — clean interfaces, minimal provider coupling, documented escape hatches.
- Shared ownership of infrastructure and developer experience.
- Documentation and tooling as part of engineering craft.
- Reliability as the ultimate measure of quality.
Qualifications
Required
- 7+ years building and operating distributed systems or production infrastructure.
- Proven expertise with Terraform module design (multi-provider), Kubernetes/Helm operations, and environment automation.
- Experience designing portable architectures—clear separation of concerns, provider-agnostic interfaces, and migration-ready patterns.
- Advanced knowledge of secure secret distribution with SOPS and 1Password.
- Proficiency in Python, Node.js, and Bash for automation and operational tooling.
- Strong understanding of Kafka, Temporal, and distributed workflow systems.
- Track record of leading through influence—setting technical standards, mentoring seniors, and driving architectural coherence.
Preferred
- Experience designing and implementing solutions across multiple cloud providers (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure) to ensure resilience and avoid vendor lock-in.
- Hands-on experience with OpenTelemetry rollouts to build a unified observability platform, helping proactively identify and resolve performance bottlenecks.
- Solid understanding of Kubernetes networking, especially configuring Ingress controllers and managing traffic flow.
- Familiarity with CUE or similar declarative configuration frameworks.
- Open-source contributions or published writing that demonstrates passion for systems thinking and quality craftsmanship.
