Distinguished Engineer (L7) – DevOps

About HeyDonto

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.
