The Problem
The Cloud Bill Grows. Nobody Knows Why.
Infrastructure set up in a hurry gets expensive, fragile and hard to change. Hire someone who builds on AWS properly, and keeps it that way.
01
Surprise Bills
Idle resources and oversized instances quietly drive up the monthly invoice.
02
Click-Ops
Infrastructure was built by hand in the console, so nobody can reproduce it.
03
Security Gaps
Wide-open IAM roles and public buckets wait for someone to notice.
The Role
What a Strong AWS Developer Owns
Back-end and cloud work that stays reliable as you grow.
01
Serverless & APIs
Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB and SQS built for real workloads.
02
Infrastructure as Code
Terraform, CDK or CloudFormation so every environment is reproducible.
03
CI/CD
Automated build, test and deployment pipelines.
04
Monitoring
CloudWatch alarms, logging and tracing that catch problems early.
05
Security
Least-privilege IAM, secrets management and network basics.
06
Cost Control
Right-sizing, reserved capacity and cleanup of unused resources.

“Pretty much I just go to you guys for every, like, managerial position in SEO.”
“Used HireUA to hire my first employees for my company and they were absolutely fantastic. Helped pave the way for how I operate the business now. If you’re looking for extremely talented overseas employees, dont hesitate to reach of to HireUA. They make the process extremely simple and easy. They literally handle everything from sourcing, interview screening, managing, etc”

How We Screen
Architecture They Can Explain.
Certifications help. Real systems tell us more.
01
Define the Seat
Serverless or containers? Back-end features, infrastructure or both? Which services?
02
Walk Through a System
Ask them to diagram an AWS system they built and explain the trade-offs.
03
Give a Small Task
A short paid task: deploy a small service with infrastructure as code.
04
Talk Costs
Ask how they’d cut a monthly bill by 30% without hurting reliability.

AWS Developer Hiring FAQs

AWS Developer or DevOps Engineer?
An AWS Developer builds application features on AWS. A DevOps engineer focuses on pipelines and infrastructure. Many small teams need one person who does both. Tell us the split and we’ll screen for it.
Do they need AWS certifications?
Certifications are a useful signal, not a requirement. We screen on systems they’ve built and how they explain them.
Can they work on our full stack too?
If you need UI work as well, see our Full-Stack Developer page.
How quickly can I interview candidates?
Qualified candidates are presented within 5 days of kickoff. Total time to hire depends on how quickly you interview and decide.
How does HireUA charge?
Monthly Hire includes HireUA administering and paying the hire. Direct Hire costs 15% of annual salary, subject to a $3,000 minimum, and you employ the person directly.

Clients save up to 82% compared with hiring locally. The exact number depends on the role, the seniority and the market we recruit from.
