Capabilities

AWS Capability Snapshot

What our AWS candidates can do for you.

AWS offers 200+ services — and knowing which ones to use (and which to avoid) for your specific workload is what separates senior cloud engineers from button-clickers. Your cloud infrastructure decisions today determine your scalability, security posture, and monthly bill for years to come.

Our AWS engineers hold Solutions Architect, Developer, and DevOps Engineer certifications. They design VPC architectures, build serverless applications with Lambda, implement container orchestration on EKS, manage CI/CD pipelines with CodePipeline, and optimize costs through Reserved Instances and Savings Plans.

From startup MVP infrastructure to enterprise multi-account landing zones, our AWS team builds cloud platforms that are secure, scalable, and cost-efficient.
Fast Ramp-Up

Our AWS experts are pre-vetted and ready to integrate into your team within days, not months.

Quality Guaranteed

All candidates pass rigorous technical assessments and come with a free replacement guarantee.

AWS Hiring FAQ

Every AWS candidate goes through our rigorous 5-stage vetting process: (1) technical screening with platform-specific assessments tailored to AWS modules and tools, (2) live coding or hands-on configuration exercises using real-world scenarios, (3) project case study walkthroughs demonstrating problem-solving approach, (4) English communication and cross-cultural collaboration evaluation, and (5) recorded video introduction. Only candidates scoring above 80% across all stages make it to our bench — that's roughly 1 in 12 applicants.

Yes — timezone overlap is standard, not optional. Our engineers routinely work 4-6 hours of daily overlap with US Eastern/Pacific, UK GMT/BST, Canadian, and Australian AEST timezones. This means you get real-time collaboration during your working day for standups, code reviews, pair programming, and stakeholder meetings. Many of our engineers have worked with Western teams for 3+ years and are experienced with asynchronous communication tools like Slack, Loom, and Notion.

Security is built into every layer of our operation. Every engineer signs an individual NDA before accessing any client systems. Full IP ownership transfers to you — your code, your data, no exceptions. Engineers work from our ISO 27001 compliant facility on company-provisioned devices with full-disk encryption, VPN-only connections, and endpoint detection. We support SOC 2 Type II processes, GDPR-compliant data handling, and can implement HIPAA or PCI-DSS controls on request.

We offer a no-questions-asked free replacement within the first 30 days. Beyond that, replacements are provided within 2 weeks at no additional cost. We've built our business on long-term client relationships, not lock-in — which is why 92% of our placements stay beyond 12 months.

Fast. We typically share 3-5 matched AWS profiles with video introductions within 48 hours of receiving your requirements. After you interview and select, onboarding takes 3-5 business days — including equipment setup, VPN configuration, tool access, and an introductory standup with your team. Most engineers are productive within the first sprint.

We offer three flexible models designed for different needs: (1) Dedicated Engineer — a full-time resource on transparent monthly billing, fully embedded in your team. (2) Engineering Pod — a cross-functional team (typically 3-8 people) with a dedicated tech lead, ideal for product development or large implementations. (3) Project-Based — fixed scope, timeline, and deliverables governed by a Statement of Work. All models include a dedicated account manager, weekly reporting, and the ability to scale up or down with 30 days' notice.

Our all-inclusive monthly rate covers everything you need: competitive salary and full benefits for the engineer, a dedicated workstation with dual monitors in our secure facility, all IT infrastructure including licensed tools and cloud environments, complete HR, payroll, and compliance management, weekly status reports and sprint participation, and a dedicated account manager. There are no hidden fees, no setup charges, and no long-term contracts required.

Yes — we actively prioritise certified professionals and invest in ongoing certification for our bench. You'll see specific certification details (e.g., platform credentials, vendor certifications, and expiry dates) on every candidate profile we share. We also support engineers in pursuing new certifications relevant to your project requirements.
