Hire AWS developers

Hiring skilled AWS developers starts with understanding what your project demands from a cloud computing perspective. Are you scaling a backend for a SaaS product? Re-architecting a legacy system for better uptime? Or building a serverless-first application from scratch? Knowing your architectural goals helps us identify developers who have solved similar problems with AWS tooling, whether it's EC2 auto-scaling, Lambda orchestration, or VPC configuration.

At KPS, we take the guesswork out of this process. You won’t just be presented with a CV and a “trust us” stamp. Instead, we pre-vet qualified AWS developers based on their hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code tools, cost optimization practices, work with innovative solutions, and secure deployment pipelines. This ensures the developer you hire won’t just write scripts, they’ll think through architecture decisions with your long-term growth in mind.

We also factor in soft skills and team fit. A great AWS engineer not only understands the tech stack but communicates trade-offs clearly and collaborates well across product, DevOps, and security. That’s why we offer flexible interview stages and the ability to start with a small test project before scaling engagement.

Although the terms “AWS developer”, "DevOps specialist", and “DevOps engineer” often overlap, the key responsibilities vary. An AWS developer focuses on building applications that operate on Amazon’s cloud services, this includes coding Lambda functions, configuring DynamoDB tables, or integrating with S3 for storage. Their role typically involves both backend development and cloud architecture within the AWS ecosystem.

DevOps engineers focus more on the infrastructure lifecycle, automation, and CI/CD workflows. They may use AWS tools like CodePipeline, CloudFormation, and ECS, but their main goal is to make deployments reliable, fast, and safe. They make sure that the code written by developers seamlessly go from testing to production without manual intervention.

That said, many of the top tier AWS developers we recommend bring both skillsets. They know how to build systems that run efficiently in the cloud and how to maintain them through automated pipelines and monitoring. If you need someone who understands both code and infrastructure — from the lines of Python to the knobs of AWS IAM permissions — we’ll help you find that hybrid talent.

Yes, but only if you vet them properly. Hiring offshore AWS developers can bring serious cost and speed advantages, but not every developer abroad will meet your quality bar. That’s why our process is built around deep vetting, not just CV keyword-matching. We focus on verified AWS experience, ability to manage infrastructure independently, and communication clarity.

We also make timezone and collaboration fit a priority. All of our AWS developers are trained to work in distributed environments, use communication tools like Slack and Jira, and document their changes with clarity. That minimizes bottlenecks during CloudWatch log debugging at 3 p.m. or when scaling up ECS containers after a spike in traffic.

Security is often the biggest concern with offshore teams. That’s why we work under NDAs, provide support for VPN and IAM permission setups, and help you define infrastructure access policies from day one. You keep control of your AWS account and production credentials, our developers operate within your security protocols at all times.

AWS is powerful. But without proper management, it can get expensive fast. Developers familiar with cost-optimized architecture can save you thousands each month. Instead of spinning up an oversized EC2 instance by default, they choose right-sized compute types, set autoscaling rules, or suggest switching to serverless with Lambda or Fargate.

Another key area is storage and data transfer. Skilled AWS developers know how to set up S3 lifecycle policies, use CloudFront caching effectively, and avoid unnecessary inter-AZ traffic. These optimizations may seem small at first, but they compound over time, especially at scale. We make sure the developers we connect you with already know these patterns inside out.

Our team also promotes a cost-aware culture. That means tagging AWS resources for better tracking, monitoring budget alarms, and regularly reviewing billing dashboards. It’s not just about building infrastructure that works. It’s about building infrastructure that makes financial sense in the long term, and that’s where great AWS developers make a big difference.

Our best AWS developers have worked across a wide range of industries and use cases. Some specialize in building serverless APIs for mobile apps using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB. Others have helped eCommerce platforms scale during peak loads with auto-scaling EC2, RDS clusters, and CloudFront content delivery. However the use case, we match developers with relevant domain and technical experience.

We’ve also supported enterprise-level infrastructure migrations, replatforming on-premise systems to AWS with CloudFormation, Terraform, and secure VPC networking. Many of our clients rely on our developers to maintain high-availability setups using ECS, EKS, or multi-region S3 replication. We’ve even deployed machine learning pipelines on SageMaker and real-time analytics on Kinesis.

What sets our developers apart isn’t just what they’ve built. Each one comes with a mindset of modularity, automation, and scale. So whether your AWS project is a proof-of-concept or a critical part of your business, we make sure the person joining your team is already thinking like an architect, not just a coder.
