Hire AWS Developers for Your Project

Rates vary by seniority, AWS specialization, and scope. In the US, an in-house AWS engineer costs $130-170+/hour (or $350K-500K/year fully loaded, including salary, benefits, equipment, and overhead). Outstaffing is significantly lower; share your requirements for a detailed estimate, and we'll provide transparent pricing.

With DBB Software, you'll receive matched CVs within 48 hours of sharing your requirements. Full onboarding typically takes 1-2 weeks. Compare that to the industry average of 41-66 days for traditional hiring, and that's before the 3-6-month ramp-up period where new hires operate at reduced productivity. You can have your team's infrastructure built within days.

Yes. Our project-based model is designed for work of defined scope, such as cloud migrations, serverless builds, infrastructure audits, or CI/CD pipeline implementation. For ongoing work, staff augmentation lets you hire remote AWS specialists as needed, with flexible scaling. Whether you need an AWS cloud engineer for 3 months or a full team for a year, we match the engagement to your timeline.

Yes. Our engineers hold AWS certifications, including Cloud Essentials, Networking Core, Architecting, and Web Application Development Builder. The team also holds MongoDB Certified DBA and Developer Associate credentials, and Microsoft Certified Fundamentals and Associate badges. Certifications are verified during our screening process and cover cloud architecture, databases, and multi-cloud environments.

Our teams have production experience across the full AWS ecosystem: compute (EC2, Lambda, ECS, EKS, Fargate), storage and databases (S3, RDS, DynamoDB, Aurora), networking (VPC, Route 53, CloudFront, API Gateway), DevOps automation (CodePipeline, CloudFormation, CDK), and security (IAM, KMS, WAF, Secrets Manager). Whether you need serverless architecture, container orchestration, or a full cloud migration, we match specialists to your specific AWS stack.

Freelance AWS developers can work on small, well-defined tasks like a one-time migration script or a quick audit. But when you're managing business-critical infrastructure that handles production traffic, stores sensitive data, or needs to scale, outstaffing is the safer choice.

Outstaffed specialists work full-time and exclusively on your project, with built-in code reviews, on-call rotations, and enforceable IP/NDA protections. You get daily standups, timezone-aligned communication, and deep context retention over months. They learn your architecture, understand your business logic, and deliver consistent results. A freelancer disappears after the contract; our engineers stay embedded in your workflows.

Security is built into our process from day one. We implement IAM least-privilege policies, VPC segmentation, encryption for data at rest and in transit, secrets management with AWS Secrets Manager, and vulnerability scanning in CI/CD pipelines. For regulated industries, we build infrastructure that complies with HIPAA, SOC 2, GDPR, and PCI-DSS. We also configure WAF, DDoS protection, and conduct regular security audits.

They integrate directly into your communication workflows. Most teams use Slack for daily messaging, Jira or Linear for task management, and Zoom or Google Meet for standups and sprint reviews. Because our team is based in Europe, there is strong overlap with US and EU business hours, so you get real-time collaboration during your working day.

For AWS infrastructure specifically, this means shared access to your AWS console, monitoring dashboards, incident channels, and on-call rotations. Your team members respond to alerts and participate in post-mortems just like an in-house colleague would.

Yes. One of the main advantages of outstaffing is flexibility. You can start with one AWS specialist and scale up as your infrastructure grows, or scale down after a major migration is complete. We handle recruitment and onboarding on our side, so adding new team members is fast and doesn't require you to run a separate hiring process.

It depends on the scope. A rough sizing guide:

• 1 engineer: Single-region AWS setup, up to 10 microservices, standard CI/CD and monitoring needs

• 2–3 engineers: Multi-region or multi-account setups, Kubernetes on EKS, active migration projects, serverless at scale

• 4+ engineers: Enterprise infrastructure with compliance requirements, 24/7 on-call coverage, multiple product teams

A single senior AWS engineer can handle CI/CD setup, monitoring, and day-to-day infrastructure management for a mid-size application. Larger-scale projects require a team with complementary specializations across architecture, DevOps, and security.

We take performance seriously. If someone isn't meeting expectations, we work with you to address the issue quickly through additional mentoring, reassigning responsibilities, or replacing them with a better-suited professional. Swaps typically happen within 1–2 weeks. Our goal is to make sure you have the right people on your project at all times.

Not necessarily. If you have a CTO or tech lead on your side, our engineers report to your leadership directly. If you don't have in-house technical leadership, we can provide a team lead or project manager who handles day-to-day coordination, architecture decisions, and delivery oversight. Either way, you stay in control of priorities and infrastructure direction.

You can hire pre-vetted AWS developers through DBB Software. We maintain a team of certified AWS engineers with production experience across EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS, EKS, and the full AWS ecosystem. Unlike freelance marketplaces where you screen candidates yourself, we handle vetting, technical assessments, and matching, and deliver shortlisted profiles within 48 hours of your request.

Yes. AWS is the most widely adopted cloud platform, which means demand for experienced engineers consistently outpaces supply. The challenge is finding engineers with hands-on production experience in architecture, security, and cost optimization. That's why companies turn to outstaffing partners like DBB Software: we've already done the screening and retain a bench of qualified professionals ready to start.
