AWS Hiring FAQ

We assess AWS candidates through infrastructure-as-code challenges, incident response simulations, and architecture design reviews covering EC2, S3, Lambda. Candidates must demonstrate CI/CD pipeline construction, monitoring setup, and cost optimization strategies using real cloud environments. We also verify certifications such as AWS Solutions Architect Associate/Professional and AWS Developer Associate. We specifically evaluate operational judgment โ€” knowing when to auto-scale vs. optimize, when to use managed services vs. self-hosted.

All our AWS developers are based in India and work schedules that provide 4-6 hours of daily overlap with US, UK, or Australian business hours. This covers standups, code reviews, pair programming, and stakeholder meetings. Complex development work happens during their extended hours, meaning you review pull requests each morning with minimal wait time. We use Terraform, CloudFormation, AWS CDK for asynchronous collaboration and handoffs. We've optimized this cadence across hundreds of engagements.

Every engagement is covered by a comprehensive NDA, IP assignment agreement, and data security protocols. All code, designs, and deliverables created by your AWS developer are your property โ€” full IP assignment, no exceptions. Access to Terraform, CloudFormation, AWS CDK and other client systems is managed through role-based permissions. Our infrastructure includes VPN-only access to client environments, endpoint security on all workstations, and we can accommodate SOC 2, HIPAA, or other compliance frameworks. Background verification is standard for all candidates.

We offer a free replacement guarantee. If your AWS developer isn't meeting expectations, tell us and we'll source a replacement with proven expertise in EC2, S3, Lambda within 5 business days at no additional cost. The transition includes a structured handover: documentation of in-progress work, codebase walkthrough with the new resource, and overlap period where both are available. The replacement will be pre-screened for experience in Cloud Migration, Serverless Architecture, Infrastructure as Code. In practice, we rarely need replacements โ€” our vetting process has a 95%+ retention rate past the first 90 days.

From your initial brief to an onboarded AWS developer typically takes 8-10 business days. We deliver 3-5 pre-vetted profiles with experience in EC2, S3, Lambda within 48 hours.

We offer three engagement models: (1) Dedicated Resource โ€” a full-time AWS expert specializing in EC2, S3, Lambda works exclusively on your project with 40 hrs/week, daily standups, and direct communication covering areas like Cloud Migration, Serverless Architecture, Infrastructure as Code. (2) Team Extension โ€” a managed pod (2-10 people) with tech lead, developers, QA, and optional PM for sprint-aligned delivery. (3) Project-Based โ€” fixed scope with milestone delivery, full PM oversight, and UAT. Most clients start with a dedicated resource and scale to a team as the project grows.

Your monthly rate covers the developer's dedicated time (40 hrs/week for full-time), equipment and workstation, HR management, time tracking, and our managed services layer โ€” which includes onboarding support, performance reviews, communication facilitation, and admin overhead. There are no hidden costs. Rate differences between seniority levels reflect experience depth in AWS specifically, not just years in the industry. Rate differences also reflect certification depth โ€” AWS Solutions Architect Associate/Professional and AWS Developer Associate certified developers may be priced at the higher end.
