Role summary
PerfectServe is seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to build and own the AWS infrastructure for a new data platform. This role involves designing and implementing secure, repeatable, and auditable systems for handling protected health information in a regulated environment. Responsibilities include managing AWS footprint, deployment paths using GitOps and CI/CD, designing least-privilege access controls, and establishing observability. The ideal candidate has deep AWS experience, proficiency with Terraform or CDK, Kubernetes administration, and a preference for automation. Experience with cloud data warehouses, message infrastructure, and regulated environments is a plus.
What is PerfectServe?
PerfectServe is a leading provider of clinical communication and physician scheduling solutions in the health IT space. The company was founded in 1997 and has grown steadily since then, with a notable jump after several major acquisitions were announced in 2019. PerfectServe now has 400+ employees, 30,000+ customers — spanning medical practices, hospitals, and health systems — and $100 million+ in annual revenue.PerfectServe’s mission is to accelerate speed to care by optimizing provider schedules and routing communications — including messages, pages, calls, and alerts — to the right place at the right time in any care setting. By facilitating real-time information sharing, building better schedules, and automating important clinical workflows, we believe we can help our customers advance patient care and improve the well-being of their clinicians.Leading analyst firms like Gartner® and KLAS Research have consistently validated our approach:- In 2026, PerfectServe was named highest in execution and furthest in vision in the Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for Clinical Communication and Collaboration — the clear segment leader.
- PerfectServe also received two Best in KLAS awards in 2026 — one for physician scheduling and another for ambulatory clinical communications. That makes for 11 Best in KLAS awards over the past 9 years.
About the role
We are building a new data platform, and it needs to run somewhere — safely, repeatably, and in a regulated environment.
This is the infrastructure seat on a small data platform team. You will own the AWS footprint, the deployment path, and the access model that lets a data pipeline read from production systems safely. We hold a high bar here — declarative, version-controlled infrastructure and tightly scoped production access — and you will be designing within that model from day one.
Why this role, specifically
Plenty of platform roles are about keeping existing infrastructure running. This one is about building the path that lets a new platform touch production data at all — in an environment with protected health information, multiple tenants, and systems clinicians rely on overnight.
That constraint is the interesting part. "Give the pipeline database access" is easy anywhere without rules. Doing it with least-privilege credentials, a fully auditable deployment path, and no manual escape hatches is an actual engineering problem, and it is the one you would own.
You will also be doing it at the start, when the decisions are still open — rather than inheriting someone's access model and being asked to defend it.
