A cleaner way to hire AWS developers

If you need to hire AWS developers who can design, automate, and run production workloads without surprise bills or open S3 buckets, Krapton provides dedicated cloud engineers who join your team and work inside your accounts. AWS rarely...

  • Infrastructure as reviewable code

    Console changes cannot be reviewed, repeated, or rolled back. Our developers define VPCs, IAM, databases, and pipelines in AWS CDK or Terraform, run cdk diff or terraform plan on every pull request, and add cdk-nag or Checkov so insecure defaults are caught before deployment.

  • Least privilege by default

    Engineers write scoped IAM policies instead of attaching AdministratorAccess, use roles and OIDC federation rather than long-lived access keys, apply service control policies at the organization level, and run IAM Access Analyzer to find unused permissions and resources shared outside the account.

  • Cost visibility from the start

    Bills grow quietly through idle resources, NAT gateway data processing, and oversized instances. Engineers enforce cost allocation tags, set AWS Budgets and Cost Anomaly Detection alerts, route S3 and DynamoDB traffic through gateway endpoints, and evaluate Graviton instances and Savings Plans against real usage data.

  • Compute matched to the workload

    Lambda, Fargate, EKS, and EC2 each suit a different shape of work. Engineers weigh cold starts, execution time limits, steady versus spiky traffic, and your team’s operational skills before choosing, rather than defaulting to whatever the previous project happened to use.

Why AWS?

What makes AWS the right choice for modern engineering teams.

  • Compute

    EC2, Lambda, ECS Fargate, and App Runner for every scale of workload.

  • Storage

    S3, EFS, EBS, and Glacier for object, file, block, and archival storage.

  • Managed databases

    RDS, Aurora Serverless, DynamoDB, ElastiCache, and OpenSearch.

  • AI & ML

    SageMaker, Bedrock, Rekognition, Transcribe, and Textract as managed AI services.

  • Networking

    VPC, CloudFront CDN, Route 53, ALB, and API Gateway for global delivery.

  • DevOps

    CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CDK, and CloudFormation for infrastructure-as-code.

What you can build with AWS

  • Serverless event pipelines

    Lambda functions triggered by API Gateway, SQS, EventBridge, and S3 events, with dead-letter queues, idempotent handlers built with Powertools for AWS Lambda, and Step Functions coordinating multi-step workflows.

  • Containerized web platforms

    ECS services on Fargate behind an Application Load Balancer, with blue/green deployments through CodeDeploy, auto scaling on request count or queue depth, and secrets injected from Secrets Manager at runtime.

  • Multi-account landing zones

    AWS Organizations with separate accounts for production, staging, security, and logging, IAM Identity Center for single sign-on, an organization-wide CloudTrail, and guardrails enforced through service control policies.

  • Generative AI on Bedrock

    Applications calling foundation models through Amazon Bedrock, with Knowledge Bases for retrieval, Guardrails for content filtering, and IAM-scoped access that keeps prompts and documents inside your AWS environment.

  • Static and edge delivery

    Sites and single-page apps on S3 and CloudFront with Origin Access Control, cache policies tuned per path, CloudFront Functions for redirects and headers, and AWS WAF rules in front of dynamic origins.

  • Data lakes and analytics

    S3-based data lakes cataloged with AWS Glue and queried through Athena, with Lake Formation permissions governing access and Kinesis or Amazon MSK streams feeding near-real-time operational dashboards.

Secure multi-account foundations and cost control

Many AWS problems that become expensive later start with a single account. When production, staging, and developer experiments share one account, a broad IAM policy or a mistaken script can reach live data, and costs cannot be separated cleanly. Our engineers set up AWS Organizations with distinct accounts for workloads, security tooling, and centralized logging, enable IAM Identity Center so people sign in with short-lived credentials instead of IAM users with access keys, and apply service control policies that block risky actions such as disabling CloudTrail or operating in unapproved regions. CI pipelines assume roles through OIDC federation, so no long-lived secrets sit in GitHub or GitLab. GuardDuty, Security Hub, and AWS Config findings flow to a delegated security account, giving one place to review risk across the whole organization.

Cost control is treated as an engineering task, not a monthly surprise. Krapton’s developers make tags such as service, environment, and owner mandatory through tag policies and IaC checks, then use Cost Explorer and the Cost and Usage Report to see which workloads drive spend. Common findings include NAT gateway charges for traffic that S3 and DynamoDB gateway endpoints would carry privately, over-provisioned RDS instances, unattached EBS volumes, CloudWatch log groups with no retention policy, and data transfer between availability zones that a design change could avoid. Fixes are made in code so they persist, rightsizing decisions rest on CloudWatch metrics rather than guesses, and Savings Plans or Reserved Instances are recommended only after usage has stabilized. Budgets and Cost Anomaly Detection then alert the team when spend drifts.

What our AWS developers know

Every Krapton developer is vetted with real production experience in AWS across multiple industry domains.

Hire a developerSchedule a call
  • AWS CDKWriting infrastructure as code in TypeScript with L2 and L3 constructs.
  • ServerlessLambda, API Gateway, SQS, SNS, and EventBridge for event-driven architectures.
  • ECS & FargateContainerised deployments with task definitions, services, and auto-scaling.
  • S3 & CloudFrontDeploying static Next.js sites with OAC, signed URLs, and edge caching.
  • RDS & AuroraManaging multi-AZ PostgreSQL clusters with automated backups and read replicas.
  • IAM & securityLeast-privilege IAM policies, SCPs, Secrets Manager, and KMS encryption.

What our AWS developers go deep on

  • AWS CDK and CloudFormation

    CDK apps in TypeScript or Python built from L2 constructs, custom L3 patterns shared across teams, cdk diff in pull requests, cdk-nag rule packs, and stack boundaries that limit blast radius.

  • Networking and VPC design

    Private subnets across availability zones, NAT gateways sized to real traffic, VPC endpoints for AWS APIs, Transit Gateway for multi-account connectivity, and security groups that reference each other instead of CIDR ranges.

  • Serverless with lambda and EventBridge

    Function memory sized from measured duration, provisioned concurrency or SnapStart where cold starts matter, partial batch responses for SQS, EventBridge rules and schemas, and Step Functions for orchestration with retries.

  • Aurora, RDS, and DynamoDB

    Aurora PostgreSQL with read replicas and RDS Proxy for Lambda connections, DynamoDB single-table designs built from access patterns, point-in-time recovery, and restore drills that prove backups actually work.

  • Security and governance services

    GuardDuty, Security Hub, AWS Config rules, an organization-wide CloudTrail, KMS key policies, Secrets Manager rotation, and AWS WAF managed rules, all deployed as code across every account.

  • CloudWatch and OpenTelemetry observability

    CloudWatch metrics, Logs Insights queries, and alarms routed to on-call channels, plus tracing through the AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry or X-Ray, with dashboards organized per service rather than per resource.

Common AWS projects we deliver

  • Migrating on-premises workloads to AWS

    Engineers map dependencies, choose rehost, replatform, or refactor per application, move servers with AWS Application Migration Service and databases with AWS DMS, and run both environments in parallel until cutover tests pass.

  • Bringing a console-built account under code

    Many startups reach production with resources created by hand. Engineers inventory what exists, import resources into Terraform or CDK without recreating them, split workloads into separate accounts, and close gaps such as public buckets, open security groups, and unrotated keys.

  • Reducing an AWS bill that keeps growing

    Engineers break spend down by tag and service, remove idle and orphaned resources, rightsize instances and databases from CloudWatch metrics, move suitable workloads to Graviton or Spot capacity, and set alerts so the next regression is caught early.

  • Preparing for a security or compliance review

    Before a SOC 2 audit or a customer security questionnaire, engineers enable GuardDuty, Security Hub, and AWS Config across accounts, centralize CloudTrail logs, enforce encryption with KMS, and document controls so auditors get evidence instead of screenshots.

AWS solutions by industry

  • SaaS companies

    Multi-tenant platforms on ECS or EKS with deliberate tenant isolation, tenant-tagged cost reporting, and deployment pipelines that let several teams ship safely into one AWS organization.

  • Healthcare

    Workloads handling patient data on HIPAA-eligible services, with customer-managed KMS keys, private networking, and audit trails kept in a separate, locked-down logging account.

  • Media streaming

    Video pipelines built on S3, AWS Elemental MediaConvert, and CloudFront signed URLs, with storage classes and lifecycle rules keeping archive storage costs under control.

  • Fintech

    Payment and ledger services on Aurora PostgreSQL with strict network segmentation, KMS-backed encryption, and controls mapped to PCI DSS requirements wherever card data is processed.

AWS vs Azure

Both platforms can run almost any workload, so the deciding factors are usually your existing identity system, your team’s skills, and a few signature services. AWS offers the widest service catalog and a deep serverless ecosystem. Azure is often the practical choice for organizations already standardized on Microsoft 365, Entra ID, .NET, and Windows Server licensing. Multi-cloud for its own sake rarely pays off.

Hiring AWS developers — answered

Practical answers to the questions CTOs and founders ask us most often before they hire.

How quickly can I hire a AWS developer from Krapton?

Within 24 hours of the initial call. We keep a bench of pre-vetted AWS engineers, so once you confirm the brief we line up two or three shortlisted CVs within a business day and can onboard the selected developer within two.

How much does it cost to hire a dedicated AWS developer from India?

Blended hourly rates for senior AWS engineers typically fall in the $25–$50 USD range depending on seniority and engagement length. Dedicated developers are billed monthly with no lock-in.

Are your AWS developers full-time employees or freelancers?

Every AWS developer you hire through Krapton is a full-time, in-house engineer — we never subcontract to freelancers or agencies. That means consistent code quality, signed NDAs, and a single point of accountability for your project.

Who owns the code and IP my AWS developers write?

You do — 100%. IP assignment and confidentiality are covered by the contract and a free NDA on request. All code lives in your repositories, on your infrastructure, under your accounts from day one.

What separates a senior cloud engineer from a console user when we hire AWS developers?

Design judgment backed by hands-on depth. A senior AWS engineer can explain IAM policy evaluation, including how SCPs and permission boundaries interact, design a VPC with private subnets and endpoints, choose between Lambda, Fargate, and EKS for a given workload, and estimate the cost impact of a design before building it. They write everything in CDK or Terraform and treat the production console as read-only.

Should we build on AWS or Azure?

Choose based on identity, skills, and signature services. If your company already runs on Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and .NET, Azure often reduces friction. If you want the broadest service catalog, mature serverless tooling, and Bedrock’s range of foundation models, AWS is usually the stronger default. Engineers can design for portability with containers, Terraform, and PostgreSQL where switching costs genuinely worry you.

How do you migrate existing workloads to AWS?

In waves, with rollback planned before each cutover. Engineers inventory applications and dependencies, assign each one a strategy such as rehost, replatform, or refactor, and build the landing zone first. Servers move with AWS Application Migration Service, databases with AWS DMS using ongoing replication, and DNS cutover happens only after parallel-run tests pass. Cost and performance baselines are compared after each wave.

How do you secure and monitor an AWS environment?

Security is layered and automated, never a one-off checklist. Engineers enforce least-privilege IAM, SCPs, encryption with KMS, private networking, and Secrets Manager, then enable GuardDuty, Security Hub, AWS Config, and CloudTrail in every account. Monitoring covers CloudWatch alarms, distributed tracing, and log retention policies, with findings and alerts routed to the channels your team already uses for incidents.

How do you handle AWS runtime deprecations and engine upgrades?

Proactively, by tracking published end-of-support dates. Lambda runtimes, RDS and Aurora engine versions, EKS Kubernetes versions, and older SDKs all reach deprecation on announced schedules. Engineers watch AWS Health notifications, upgrade in staging first, run integration tests, and use RDS Blue/Green Deployments or managed node group rotation on EKS so upgrades stay planned work rather than emergencies.
