Hire AWS Cloud Architects | Nearshore Software Development
AWS is the world's most comprehensive cloud platform, offering unparalleled depth and breadth of services. You need an engineer who can move beyond the basics of EC2 and S3 to architect solutions that leverage the full ecosystem-from scalable compute (ECS/EKS, Lambda) and networking (VPC, Route 53) to critical security (IAM). Our vetting process is designed to find certified experts who prioritize cost-efficiency, security, and high availability in every design. We test for mastery of both infrastructure-centric (EC2, RDS) and modern serverless (Lambda, DynamoDB) paradigms. By hiring an AWS expert from us, you get a developer who can design a resilient, secure, and cost-optimized cloud platform that scales with your business needs.
The Problem
Without a deep understanding of AWS pricing and services, costs can spiral out of control. Developers often provision large, always-on EC2 instances, expensive managed databases, or fail to clean up unused resources, resulting in a monthly bill shock that eats into profit margins.
The TeamStation AI Solution
We vet for a security and cost-optimization mindset. Our experts are required to demonstrate proficiency in cost-efficient services (e.g., using Lambda for serverless, Fargate for containers) and a deep understanding of resource rightsizing, auto-scaling groups, and reserved instances to minimize cloud expenditure.
The Problem
Poorly configured IAM policies are the leading cause of cloud security breaches. Over-privileged roles and users expose your data to unnecessary risk. Developers often grant 'AdministratorAccess' out of convenience, violating the principle of least privilege.
The TeamStation AI Solution
Our engineers are experts in IAM security. They are vetted on their ability to create granular, least-privilege policies, correctly use IAM roles for service-to-service communication, and secure applications using tools like KMS and Security Hub, ensuring a zero-trust environment.
The Problem
Sticking to traditional 'lift-and-shift' patterns (e.g., EC2 for everything) prevents you from benefiting from AWS's core strengths: autoscaling, zero-downtime, and pay-per-use economics. This results in high operational overhead and slow time-to-market.
The TeamStation AI Solution
We look for engineers proficient in the Serverless Framework/SAM. They must demonstrate the ability to architect applications using Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, and API Gateway, dramatically reducing operational overhead and enabling instantaneous, cost-effective scaling for event-driven applications.
