Amazon Web Services (AWS) began as a side hustle for Jeff Bezos and his team. They wanted to fill the excess capacity in Amazon’s tech stack. Now, AWS is the largest cloud-computing company on the market, having consistently held more than 31% of the market from 2017 to 2022. 

As a result, companies across the globe are looking for AWS developers for hire.

So, what can AWS offer you?

A better question is, what can AWS not do for you? The platform offers a wide range of cloud computing services for projects of all sizes, from database management to storage. By working with AWS developers for hire, you can build, deploy, and manage applications on Amazon’s highly scalable and reliable cloud infrastructure.

For these reasons, AWS developers are in high demand. This demand means you may face an uphill battle if you want to hire AWS developers for part-time or full-time jobs. The hiring process can also be exhausting, and hiring developers who aren’t the right fit for your company can cost you thousands of dollars.

The good news is we can help. Here at Gun.io, we’ve helped hundreds of companies – from Fortune 500s to startups – hire developers with years of experience. And because we know communication is vital, we’ll help you hire AWS experts fluent in English.

This means you can trust us to hire an AWS developer (or three) for your development needs!

Hire AWS experts

How does AWS work?

Like every cloud provider, AWS offers services that use its extensive network of data centers.

By using these services, your company doesn’t need its own data centers and on-premise servers. Your company also doesn’t need the associated physical infrastructure, maintenance, risks, and insurance – all of which cost money. 

What’s more, if your company needs to scale up or down, you’ll pay only for what you use. This can be a more cost-effective option, especially if your company has variable or unpredictable needs.

What does an AWS developer do?

AWS developers build and integrate AWS-specific computer data and systems. Their tasks might include:

• Offering suitable suggestions on which apps and infrastructure to use
• Developing cost-effective and efficient migration strategies
• Executing AWS service-based planning strategies
• Migrating infrastructure with low downtime
• Helping organizations migrate to AWS

FAQs

How much does it cost to hire AWS developers with Gun.io?

We get a lot of questions about AWS developers for hire and how much they’ll cost. The short answer is this: If you have a budget, we can design a solution to suit your needs. But planning for a future headcount is much easier when you have numbers and data. 

With this in mind, we don’t have standard prices on Gun.io. Instead, we offer flexible retainers based on your needs, the project, and the developers’ salary expectations. This price includes Gun.io’s fee, and you’ll see the total price upfront on developers’ profiles. There are no extra fees.

To help you move forward and hire AWS developers, we’ve gathered data from recent hires on the Gun.io platform. These numbers represent the averages and ranges for developer costs within their respective experience and geography bands. 

This data is a great place to understand how companies you’re competing with think about their investment with each hire.

We recommend using this data as a guide. You’ll still need to consider other factors to determine what will best meet your needs.

How is Gun.io different from other AWS developer hiring platforms?

We make the hiring process feel effortless, whether for full-time or part-time roles. That’s because we streamline the hiring process, from sourcing and vetting candidates to matching you with top AWS experts.

Our clients appreciate our quick and easy hiring experience, with an average time-to-hire of 13 days. In addition, we’ve implemented a strict vetting process and have built a network of top developers. As a result, our developers have an average of 10+ years of experience.

Here’s a percentage breakdown for approved devs in our network:

• < 7 years: 11%
• 7-9 years: 26%

• 20+ years: 16%

Can I hire an AWS developer part-time?

Yes, you can! At Gun.io, you can hire AWS developers on a full-time, part-time, or contract-to-hire basis. 

Of the three, contract-to-hire is a favorite among our clients and developers. This is because contract-to-hire lets you roll the developer onto your project to see if they’re a good fit before hiring full-time.

Does Gun.io only provide hiring services, or can I get project management support for my AWS project too?

Yes, you can (again!) Gun.io can help you hire AWS developers on a full-time, part-time, or contract-to-hire basis, and provide project management support. 

We facilitate intro calls and support both parties as needed throughout the engagement. We also handle hours tracking, billing, and payments.
