Vetted AWS developer in the United States (UTC-6)

My diverse skills and background have given me unique abilities to identify and resolve logic issues in both humans and technology. With over ten years of experience in software engineering and engineering management/leadership, I have effectively collaborated with cross-functional teams and stakeholders to develop software solutions and assist organizations/businesses in achieving their goals and objectives. I absolutely love what I do. It is my passion, inspiration and adventure. I believe the recruiting team at my previous employers are intentionally preventing me from being employed, as evidenced by the issues I've presented. Such discriminatory hiring procedures and actions are illegal, unethical, and violate my right to work and equal opportunity.

Some screenshots of technical issues I sent you were taken on December 17/24. Since I began being interviewed at JPMorgan last year, the answer to my job applications has been severely delayed, often for weeks or months. I need to refer back to the job post when a recruiter contacts me.It's not about job competition. It's about an **unfair, unethical, dishonest and biased** hiring process, as well as punishment for speaking up about it and concealing the faults of laying me off by preventing me from being hired again.  I never received answers to the following issues, which I raised in the summer 2024, but the issues have gotten worse and doubled down.I documented all issues and difficulties I encountered.  I also sent you a separate email about the incident. To summarize, please review all of the issues below that have taken away my job opportunities and blocked me from being hired. Please address the concerns and eliminate unfair, dishonest, and biased hiring practices, as well as the hate and retaliation attempts, or forward them to your supervisor or the appropriate department for resolution..Thank you!Best,QiongThe following issues were escalated to JP Morgan Chase Employee Relations on 09/09/24.1. Why was the quality of your interviews low? Include the recruiter’s name, date of interview, comments made or questions asked, etc.Here is an example of a low-quality interview in which the interviewer is rude, irrational, unprofessional, unfair, threatening and full of hatred.I was not advised that a coding interview would require me to share my computer screen. The interview was originally set for 30 minutes, and I was told it would be with a hiring manager, who is typically a non-technical person based on my previous interview experience at JPMC.   Also, 30 minutes is too short for a coding session. So I didn't join the interview from my computer but my phone. On May 6, 2024, at 7:41 AM, the recruiter contacted me via email, saying,  “The manager has requested to extend the interview an additional 30 minutes..”  See the following. When I woke up and received his email, it was less than an hour till my interview, and I still didn't know if there was a coding round that needed me to show my screen.Then **Dhira Kaleeswaran** and another individual joined the zoom.  I was informed that another individual without her camera on will conduct the coding interview for **Dhira Kaleeswaran**. They required me to share my computer screen.  Asking candidates to share their screen for a coding interview without giving advance notice is very disrespectful about the candidate's data privacy and security.  I was shocked that she works in the security domain, yet doesn't seem to care about others' data privacy and security. I have taken numerous professional technical coding interviews, including FAANG, and I have never been asked to share my screen, let alone share it without giving notice.Not only am I uncomfortable sharing my screen unprepared in an unsafe manner, but I also had an internet connectivity issue with my computer, so I asked Dhira Kaleeswaran if I could reschedule. She started to blame me and nearly yelled at me during the interview for not being able to join the Zoom coding session from my computer because of technical difficulties.  She even unreasonably brought the HR interview scheduler on the call to try to resolve my wifi issue.  She was rude and insane, suggesting that I either complete the interview today no matter what or be removed from consideration. Of course, the HR scheduler had no idea how to address my wifi issue. Like me, she didn't seem to know what this interview was about or what needed to be prepared for the interview. As a result, the interview couldn't proceed and couldn't be rescheduled, my application was no longer being considered. I received the rejection email almost immediately after I got off the zoom call with them. I’ve never met her before and knew nothing about her. There is no reason for her to act crazy like a hater, unless she was told to.Hi Qiong,The manager has request to extend the interview an additional 30 minutes. Just wanted to keep you posted on this. Please keep in mind that they may not need the full hour however they wanted to extend the interview just in case.Thanks,Joseph Carrion |Senior Technology Recruiter - Global Technology Recruitment JPMorgan Chase & Co. | Dallas Corporate Center – Legacy West Joseph.Carrion@JPMChase.com| 214-263-12032.  When and who asked you the following questions: where were you born and what do you like to do when you are not working? What role were you interviewing for?The question “where were I born?” was asked by the interviewer Srinivas R Alla, Vice President Sr Lead Software Engineer at the interview for the position 210487013 / Senior Lead Software Engineer - Infrastructure / Plano TX / JPMC[https://jpmc.fa.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX\_1001/job/210487013/?utm\_medium=jobshare](https://jpmc.fa.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX_1001/job/210487013/?utm_medium=jobshare)Monday April 22 20243:00 PM – 4:00 PM CT**Srinivas R Alla**Vice PresidentSr Lead Software EngineerSenior Lead Software Engineer - Infrastructure (210487013)**Via Zoom App**: Enter Meeting ID 994 4716 5504**Passcode: 020524DateTimeInterviewer(s)Requisition title and numberVideoconference**FridayAugust 9, 20243:00 PM – 3:45 PM **CENTRAL TIMEThomas M Pratt**(He/Him/His)Executive DirectorDirector of Security Engineering**Michael Ringer**Vice PresidentSr Lead Cybersecurity ArchitectLead Security Engineer (210500411)**Via Zoom App**:  Enter Meeting ID **992 4944 3175Passcode: 020524**4. Any other examples where interviews were biased or you were treated unfairly?Aside from the other reasons/examples stated in the answers to the rest of the questions 1, 2, 3, 5, 6: The quality of my interviews is low. The hiring process was delayed, resulting in positions being filled before my interview could begin. My candidacy was dropped, and my scheduled interviews were canceled without explanation on the interview day, even though I had already joined the Zoom call and was about to begin my interview. Here are three additional examples:A. Someone from the HR department changed my applicant profile and employment history at JPMC.  I was employed as a VP with full-time employment in 2021 and I was NEVER hired as a contractor or associate engineer, but I've been informed by multiple recruiters that they saw my profile as an associate engineer and a contractor.  I've been applying for jobs at JPMC almost everyday and always have a current resume on my profile, so why has my employment history become something else that I have never put on my resume? Who did that?B. I no longer receive updates on my interview status. I have not heard back from any recruiters on the interviews I had since June 2024. When I asked when I could expect to hear the interview results, one of my interviewers said they didn't know because once they made the selection, it's up to HR to decide when to arrange the next round.  I could have been selected from any earlier interviews, but they never kept me updated and scheduled the next round, thus I was never moved forward. I wrote multiple emails to [vernadette.j.caga@jpmorgan.com](mailto:vernadette.j.caga@jpmorgan.com) and [stephanie.colunga@jpmchase.com](mailto:stephanie.colunga@jpmchase.com) asking about application status but did not receive response.C. Furthermore, there are strong indications that someone is attempting to keep me from being hired by undermining teams who wanted to interview me by purposely delaying their interview requests until after I have responded to any additional unexpected requests in order to send me to interviews where interviewers will never choose me at all. They've been doing this for months. The same pattern appears repeatedly. It's difficult to believe it wasn't true.D.  Interviewers do not appear to be qualified for the positions for which they are conducting interviews. The most recent example is that I was scheduled for an interview for a Senior VP position (210540185 | Senior Lead Software Engineer - Python) with an interviewer whose job title is an associate engineer, not even a VP. Please see the interview info below. How can someone make a good hiring decision for a position he or she does not have enough experience with? The only explanation is that the aim of this interview is to reject me rather than hiring me. I believe that this is also the cause for the poor quality of my recent ongoing interviews. My questions are, who sent an associate engineer to interview for a VP position, and why?5. Who would not respond to you after offering a week of your availability?Many of my interviews were scheduled at the end of the last available day I provided, leaving me with no time to prepare for the interview. I sometimes have to email the recruiter again to see if my availability is still working for them after not hearing back from them till the end of my last available day. Not every interview is scheduled once I give my availability, and there's no explanation. Most recruiters do not contact me directly to explain roles or answer questions. Most of the time, schedulers send me an interview request inquiring for my availability without telling me who the recruiter is. Sometimes my provided availability was totally ignored without explanation. My interview was delayed to be scheduled, and they chose a day at random without even asking about my new availability.I gave my availability from 6/26/24 to 6/28/24, 10am - 4pm CDT  to the recruiter Guzman, Trisha" <[trisha.guzman@chase.com](mailto:trisha.guzman@chase.com)\> , but the interview was scheduled on 07/03/24.

Thank you!I've had at least 20 interviews at JPMC since March 2024, but the quality of the interviews and recruitment process has continuously deteriorated. Now it is highly unprofessional and biased, which results in me losing numerous opportunities, financially and mentally suffering because I'm putting so much time and money into preparing the interviews for months and months yet being unfairly treated in the hiring process, leading me to believe that I was purposefully blocked from being hired by HR personnel due to my prior employment at the JPMC, as I was laid off for no apparent reason shortly after receiving a performance raise for resolving a critical technical issue in three days that no one had been able to resolve for a year.Here are some of the issues I have experienced:1.  Interviewers do not appear to be qualified for the positions for which they are conducting interviews. The most recent example is that I was scheduled for an interview for a Senior VP position (210540185 | Senior Lead Software Engineer - Python) with an interviewer whose job title is an associate engineer, not even a VP. Please see the interview info below. How can someone make a good hiring decision for a position he or she does not have enough experience with? The only explanation is that the aim of this interview is to reject me rather than employ me, but whoever assigned this associate engineer to interview for a senior VP position couldn't find a manager or engineer willing to lie for him or her throughout the interview and reject me.

The quality of my interviews are extremely low, with the clear purpose of removing my candidacy. Despite having had over 20 interviews, the majority of which were for technical roles, there are very few technical interviews. Most of the time, I've been interviewed and rejected by interviewers that don't have a software engineer or any other technical experience, with questions like "where I was born" and "what do I like to do when I'm not working". At some interviews, the interviewer's questions and description of job requirements are completely different from the requirements in the job posting, which fits great in my experience.3. Delayed hiring process, resulting in positions being filled before my interview even begins. The delay is usually somewhere between 1- 4 weeks.  After offering a week of my full-day availability to the recruiter or scheduler who requested, I may not hear anything back.  If you check in with them, they may or may not inform you that they need you to update your availability in the last minute of your provided availability.4. My candidacy was dropped, and my scheduled interviews were canceled without explanation on the interview day when I already joined the Zoom call and was about to have my interview .5. Someone in your department changed my applicant profile and employment history at JPMC.  I was employed as a VP with full-time employment in 2021 and I was NEVER hired as a contractor or associate engineer, but I've been informed by multiple recruiters that they saw my profile as an associate engineer and a contractor.  I've been applying for jobs at JPMC almost everyday and always have a current resume on my profile, so why has my employment history become something else that I have never put on my resume? Who did that?6. Strangely, recent interview requests beginning in April 2024 have consistently requested at the same time. There are always two or more requests that follow one another closely, almost as if they are competing. If I didn't move forward with one of them, the other interview requests would disappear.7. I no longer receive updates on my interview status. I have not heard back from any recruiters on the interviews I had in June 2024. When I asked when I could expect to hear the interview results, one of my interviewers said they didn't know because once they made the selection, it's up to HR to decide when to arrange the next round. Could you help update my interview status for all the interviews I had back in June 2024?For item 2 - 7, I can provide more details and examples with 5W(who, what, where, when, why) and 1H(How) if neededThe problems got worse. I continue to experience unprofessional, biased, dishonest, or even scam-like processes.📷**devqm** <[prowork.dev1010@gmail.com](mailto:prowork.dev1010@gmail.com)\> Nov 8, 2024, 11:06 AM📷📷📷to Anish📷Hi Anish,I wanted to follow up on our last communication about the issues I encountered during the hiring process. You advised me that I would receive a response in a few weeks, but it has been more than 2 months(3 months since submitting my initial request) and I still have not received anything. I'm wondering if you have any updates?  I'm still experiencing issues with the hiring process. See below.Last week, Trisha Guzman, the recruiter called me on the phone.  I was stunned when she said my name as "Qiong Michaels Jeremy." I had previously mentioned in my email that someone had modified my employment history, but now it appears they've also changed my name in my profile as well? Had she not seen my resume? I've spoken with countless recruiters throughout the years. Never before has anyone called me without even knowing my name. I'd think she received incorrect information somewhere. Where is the incorrect information from?Also, the job description was removed prior to the interview, but I was not provided any information other than the job title for which I am interviewing. My interviewer informed me that I was interviewing for a position on the forensic team. I don't recall seeing any job descriptions for the position I applied for that mentioned forensics. Despite the fact that the interviewer stated that this is still an engineering role and that I answered his questions well, I'm still concerned if the job description was changed on the fly, so the add-on forensic topic would be used as an excuse to reject me. I have not heard back from the recruiter after the interview.Since I was wrongfully laid off in 2022, I've been applying for most software engineering-related positions almost every day, at least once a week or two, for about two years, and I have over ten years of experience, as well as so many teams(around 20-30) interested in interviewing me, how could I not be qualified for anything and be hired already? Are they all mistaken in selecting me, or are there HR personnel that continually prevent me from being hired?  Which one is more obvious to you? There are also other leadership positions on the development team. Why have I been repeatedly denied for those positions and instead selected for positions where I barely have expertise?Based on the issues I raised in my previous email and above, it has occurred to me that individuals deliberately preventing me from being hired by the firm are most likely working at the Human Resources department.  Because none of the technical teams I interviewed for knew me, why would they reject me on purpose for no reason? The only individuals who knew me from the start (Even though I didn't know anyone at HR when I worked there, I wasn't sure why they wanted to fight me, unless they were some horrible soulless individuals who would hurt anyone to spread their hatred and jealousy) were the ones who wrongfully laid me off, and they have yet to be held accountable for what they did.  Because if they had, they would have stopped blocking from being hired already.I would appreciate it if the firm can sort this out and stop such dishonest, unkind and aggressive behavior directed at me and possibly other employees. I still hope the firm will change for the better, and I would like to return to work.  Could you please let me know when I can expect an answer?  Thank you.devqm <[prowork.dev1010@gmail.com](mailto:prowork.dev1010@gmail.com)\> Nov 12, 2024, 6:34 AM to Anish Hi Anish, Could you please explain how each of the submitted issues was addressed by Employee Relationships? Since I submitted the request, the frequency of being selected for interviews has dropped dramatically from every week before to only one in the last 3 months, and some of the issues I submitted appear to be worsening rather than improving. In my most recent conversation with a recruiter Trisha Guzman, the recruiter called me with the wrong name on my candidate profile. How did this occur? Can you explain it in detail? Thanks.

I just caught this scheduler Aditi Nag lying by alleging I didn't show up for the interview, which is almost hilarious given that he clearly responded to my email I sent to him on the interview day, telling him I was waiting for the interviewer till the last minute, but no one joined the Zoom call. (see the email below or the attachment).  He did not respond until two days later with the email below, attempting to blame me by pretending I was not available for the interview.  Is there anything you can do to stop such hostile behavior? I don't even know him and anyone else working in your HR department. Why do they keep sabotaging my interviews and attacking me? Best, Qiong devqm <[prowork.dev1010@gmail.com](mailto:prowork.dev1010@gmail.com)\> Attachments Jan 13, 2025, 9:22 AM to Anish Hey Anish, I no longer can see the positions I applied for.  My candidate profile page no longer works.  What is happening?  I received a server error message stating "Something went wrong.Try again later." It's been there for weeks now. Please see the attached screenshots. devqm <[prowork.dev1010@gmail.com](mailto:prowork.dev1010@gmail.com)\> Attachments Jan 27, 2025, 10:06 AM (22 hours ago) to Anish Hi, I wanted to follow up with the profile issue I had earlier. It is still not resolved. I'm not able to see job applications on my candidate profile. See attached screenshots.  Furthermore,the recruiting has become worse, and it seems to be a scam. Despite providing my availability to the recruiter months ago, and the recruiter stated she will send an invite for an interview, my interview was never scheduled. Instead, I just received a rejection email indicating they had interviewed me and thanked me for meeting them?!!!! Best, QiongDuring my most recent interview, It seemed the interviewers did not see my resume. They didn't even know my name and called me **"Michelle"**. Of course, they had no idea that I specialized in software development. Three people asked me the same question. I explained three times, saying, "I developed features, fixed bugs, and resolved any production issues for the applications," which is standard software development practice, so the hiring manager would at least know if they were looking for a senior lead software engineer . However, they did not appear to have read my resume or even known I'm specialized in software development. After I had answered the same questions three times, one of the interviewers finally understood it was an agile process.They appear to be hardware professionals working at a data center. I'm surprised I was chosen for a data center position in which I may not have any prior experience. However, HR has done it before, most recently sending me to an interview for a digital forensics position. But I have not been interviewed for any software development positions, particularly in Python, where I have extensive knowledge and experience.One of the recruiters informed me that they could not offer me a salary as high as my present rate as a software developer lead since the position was not in software development. An analogy for this type of unethical recruiting scam would be terminating doctors and then asking them if they want to work as waiters or have no job . Are we truly short on skilled software engineers and need to look for them abroad while wrongfully laying off experienced good engineers and preventing them from being hired through **unethical dishonest biased** recruiting process? I fixed technical issues generated by the engineers abroad due to a lack of expertise in my previous position at JPMorgan, yet I was laid off shortly after that. They still had jobs after I was laid off.  Please explain why?Interview for SR Lead Software Engineer - JPMorgan Chase InboxSearch for all messages with label InboxRemove label Inbox from this conversation📷**Interdonato, Brian M **📷Tue, Jan 21, 9:40 AM (7 days ago)📷📷📷to me📷**Jan23Thu**Interview for SR Lead Software Engineer - JPMorgan Chase[View on Google Calendar](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/r?eid=XzY4bzM0ZDlnNjRwMzJsMWg2c3BqMGMxamI4bWppZGhqNm9zamlkcGg2Y3JqY2czNmNrczMwZWhnNzhvM2tjMXE2Y3E2Nm85cWM1aDZjcGhxY3BpajJwaHFjaGdqY29iNWVoazMwIHByb3dvcmsuZGV2MTAxMEBt&ctok=cHJvd29yay5kZXYxMDEwQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ)WhenThu Jan 23, 2025 10am – 10:45am (CST)Where[https://jpmchase.zoom.us/j/96369971376](https://jpmchase.zoom.us/j/96369971376)WhoInterdonato, Brian M\*_No earlier events_10amInterview for SR Lead Software Engineer - JPMorgan Chase_No later events_AgendaThu Jan 23, 2025HI Qiong, Here is the info for your Zoom meeting with Ramon Solis and Wayne MFarlane.

Is your cloud spending out of control? Many businesses lose thousands to wasted resources and inefficient setups. The fix? Skilled AWS developers. They optimize auto-scaling, fine-tune reserved instances, and cut waste, saving you serious money.

And it’s not just about costs. AWS developers secure your systems with robust protocols like IAM, encryption, and compliance safeguards, keeping your data safe and your business compliant.

This guide will show you how to find, evaluate, and hire top AWS developers to save money, boost efficiency, and secure your cloud.

Why you need skilled AWS developers

Amazon Web Services (AWS) developers do more than build systems; they streamline operations, cut costs, and keep your business secure and scalable. They're your go-to experts if you’re looking to innovate, streamline, or stay ahead of competitors. Here’s what they bring:

Process optimization

AWS developers streamline operations with serverless tools like AWS Lambda and automate AWS infrastructure with CloudFormation. They make your business lean, fast, and ready to scale.

Cost efficiency

These experts keep AWS cloud costs in check by fine-tuning EC2 instances, leveraging spot instances, and using auto-scaling effectively. Translation? No paying for what you don’t use.

Data management

AWS developers design secure, scalable data systems using AWS database services like DynamoDB and RDS, ensuring compliance with industry standards like HIPAA and GDPR.

Security

They implement security measures such as IAM for access control, configure encryption for sensitive data, and set up multi-factor authentication to enhance security.

Market leadership

Amazon web services developers help you stay ahead with global reach and cost-efficient and innovative solutions.

Solving business challenges

Whether building apps, diving into big data, or speeding up product launches, AWS developers are your problem-solvers.

Key skills to look for in AWS developers

Hiring an AWS developer isn’t just about technical skills; you need someone who collaborates well and adapts to the ever-changing cloud landscape. Here are the key skills that make AWS developers stand out:

Technical skills

AWS service know-how

Your developer should be well-versed in infrastructure services tools like EC2, S3, VPC, ELB, Auto Scaling, and CloudFormation. They should also have hands-on experience with AWS Key Management Service (KMS) in managing encryption keys securely.

Cloud architecture

Qualified AWS developers understand the principles of AWS cloud architecture, like high availability and best security practices, and apply them to create scalable cloud solutions.

APIs and serverless

AWS developers should be proficient in working with APIs and serverless services like AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and Step Functions, understanding how to integrate them effectively within the AWS ecosystem.

AWS certifications

Certifications like AWS Certified Solutions Architect or Developer are like the “thumbs up” you need to show they’re committed to their craft and up-to-date with AWS offerings. It’s not a must, but it helps.

Scaling and monitoring

AWS developers should be pros at scaling apps automatically using auto-scaling and load balancing. They should also know how to use AWS CloudWatch to monitor performance and tweak systems as needed.

Backup and disaster recovery

You want a developer who can protect your data. Look for experience with AWS’s backup services, like EBS snapshots or AWS Backup, to ensure your business can bounce back from the unexpected.

Soft skills

Communication

AWS developers need to explain their work, collaborate with teams, and break down complex ideas into digestible chunks for non-technical folks.

Problem-solving

The AWS cloud can get complicated, and things don’t always go as planned. You need developers who can troubleshoot on the fly, find solutions, and keep things running smoothly.

Adaptability

AWS services evolve faster than you can say "cloud." Your developer should be comfortable learning new tools and adjusting to changes, all while keeping projects on track.

How to craft a job post that attracts AWS rockstars

Writing a job description can feel harder than the job itself, but a great one attracts top AWS talent. Here’s how to craft a post that gets the right people excited to apply.

Guidelines for writing a standout job description

  • Start strong: Open with a quick overview of the role. What will the developer be working on? What kind of impact will they make? Keep it short and compelling—think of this as your elevator pitch.
  • Be clear about responsibilities: Spell out the role, like building AWS cloud solutions, optimizing resources, or ensuring security. Don’t make candidates guess.
  • List the must-haves: Be specific about the technical skills you need. Mention AWS services like EC2, S3, or Lambda, and throw in serverless computing or cloud architecture if it applies.
  • Add bonus points for certifications: AWS certifications like Solutions Architect or DevOps Engineer are nice-to-haves. Let candidates know if these are preferred or required.
  • Highlight soft skills: Technical chops are great, but communication, problem-solving, and adaptability? That’s the secret sauce for a great team player.
  • Show off your culture: Tell candidates about your team’s vibe, values, or unique quirks. Are you all about collaboration? Innovation? Free snacks? Let them know.
  • Sweeten the deal: What perks or benefits do you offer? Mention growth opportunities, flexible work options, or even the chance to geek out with cutting-edge cloud tech.

Example job description

Key interview questions to ask AWS developers (and why they matter)

Evaluating AWS developers can feel overwhelming as you need to quickly determine if they fit your team and project goals. These questions will help you assess their skills, problem-solving abilities, and how they handle real-world cloud challenges.

1. Can you explain what AWS is and how it helps businesses?

This one’s basic but crucial. You’re looking for more than buzzwords. Do they understand how AWS solves real problems? A solid answer should touch on scalability, AWS cost savings, and flexibility. If they start rambling about “cloud synergies,” maybe pass.

2. What are the main differences between EC2, S3, and RDS, and when would you use each one?

This is like asking if they know their toolbox. EC2 (compute), S3 (storage), and RDS (databases) are AWS staples. A strong candidate will confidently explain use cases like S3 for file storage or RDS for structured data. Bonus points if they toss in examples from past projects.

3. How would you set up a basic cloud infrastructure using AWS services?

Here’s where you test their practical skills. Can they sketch out a functional setup using core services? You want someone who can connect the dots, like using EC2 for computing, ELB for balancing traffic, and CloudFormation to keep it all manageable.

4. Imagine an AWS-hosted application is running slow. What steps would you take to fix it?

This question separates the pros from the amateurs. Look for answers that dig into server size, auto-scaling, load balancing, and database tuning. An ideal AWS developer will focus on identifying bottlenecks first and then suggest concrete solutions.

5. How do you ensure security in an AWS cloud environment, and what tools do you use?

Security’s a big deal; don’t skimp on this one. The best candidates will mention IAM for identity and access management, encryption for sensitive data, and VPCs for secure networking. They should also talk about monitoring tools and best practices to avoid breaches.

Common mistakes to avoid when hiring AWS developers

Hiring AWS engineers can feel like walking a tightrope. You need to balance technical skills, team fit, and security expertise. You might get it wrong and hire someone who creates more problems than solutions. Here are the common pitfalls and how to avoid them.

Overlooking certifications

Skipping over certifications is like ignoring a driver’s license during a road test. Sure, a certificate doesn’t guarantee brilliance, but it shows the candidate knows their stuff and cares enough to prove it. Ignoring AWS-certified pros might leave you with someone who’s all talk and no cloud.

Neglecting security best practices

If you’re hiring AWS developers who don’t understand IAM, data encryption, or compliance standards like HIPAA, you’re asking for trouble. Without a strong security grasp, you’re exposing your cloud systems.

Ignoring culture fit

A whiz with EC2 isn’t worth much if they can’t work with the team. Hiring someone who doesn’t jive with your culture can lead to awkward meetings, miscommunication, and team friction. Look for people who can collaborate, adapt, and align with your company’s values.

Other mistakes to steer clear of:

  • Skipping technical assessments or relying too much on fancy resumes.
  • Overlooking problem-solving skills and real-world experience.
  • Hiring someone who isn’t hungry to keep learning (AWS updates are no joke).
  • Rushing through interviews and missing red flags.

Why AWS certifications matter and which ones to look for

AWS certifications are cloud-world badges of honor. For employers, they prove a candidate’s expertise and commitment to staying current. For professionals, they improve credibility and unlock better opportunities. Here’s why they matter.

Foundational certifications

If you’re new to the cloud (or still figuring out what “the cloud” even is), the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner is a great starting point. It covers the basics—Cloud 101. Employers should look for this certification when hiring for entry-level roles or when candidates need a solid foundational understanding of AWS essentials.

Associate certifications

These certifications are ideal for candidates with some AWS experience. They demonstrate the ability to create and maintain scalable cloud solutions. Employers should look for associate-level certifications for hands-on roles involving infrastructure management or day-to-day AWS operations.

  • AWS Certified Solutions Architect: For designing scalable cloud systems.
  • AWS Certified Developer: For building and maintaining cloud-based applications.
  • AWS Certified SysOps Administrator: Specializing in managing AWS environments.

Professional certifications

Professional certifications are for seasoned professionals ready to tackle complex, high-stakes projects. Employers should look for these when hiring an AWS cloud architect or DevOps specialist who can design secure systems or automate large-scale deployments.

  • AWS Certified Solutions Architect: For designing secure, complex systems.
  • AWS Certified DevOps Engineer: Mastery of automating workflows and streamlining cloud deployments.

Specialty certifications

Specialty certifications highlight expertise in specific areas. Employers should seek these when hiring for roles requiring niche skills or advanced knowledge for specialized challenges.

  • AWS Certified Security: For roles focused on cloud security.
  • AWS Certified Advanced Networking: For complex networking tasks.
  • AWS Certified Machine Learning: For implementing machine learning on AWS.

Why employers should care

AWS certifications can help you find candidates to build smoother, more secure cloud systems. Certified professionals stay current with AWS updates, bringing the latest skills and best practices.

The payoff? Improved efficiency, stronger security, and better outcomes for your cloud projects. It’s a win-win for everyone.

How to shortlist AWS developers without losing your mind

Finding the right AWS developer can feel like sifting through a pile of Legos, looking for that one perfect piece. Here’s how to sort the cloud rockstars from the rest without overcomplicating things.

Evaluate past projects

Ask candidates to walk you through their AWS work. What problems did they solve? Did they design scalable, secure systems or find smart cost-management methods?

Pay attention to the challenges they tackled and the tools they used (e.g., Lambda, EC2, or CloudFormation). If their answers sound like, “I just clicked some buttons,” it’s time to move on.

Look for relevant industry experience

Certifications are nice, but have they built something like what you need? Someone who’s worked in your industry understands your challenges and can hit the ground running. Bonus points if they’ve handled similar-scale systems or compliance requirements.

With Arc’s Hire AI, you can enter your requirements, and it will match you with suitable, pre-vetted AWS developers in moments, ensuring you have the right expertise for your project.

Check references and credentials

Their resume looks great, but does it check out? Confirm their work history, certifications, and education. Then, call their references. Ask about their technical chops, teamwork, and whether they delivered results. It’s like detective work but less dramatic.

Arc simplifies this step by providing access to thoroughly vetted AWS developers, saving you the hassle of reviewing portfolios and verifying credentials.

How much does it cost to hire an AWS developer?

Hiring an AWS developer is like buying a high-tech gadget; you want great quality without breaking the bank. Costs depend on a few key factors; understanding them will help you plan smarter and hire the right talent.

What affects the cost?

The following factors influence the cost of hiring an AWS developer:

  • Skill level and certifications: Developers with advanced skills and certifications (like AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional) typically cost more. You’re paying for expertise in AWS technologies and their ability to work with specific AWS services.
  • Location: Where your developer is based matters a lot. A developer in San Francisco or New York will likely charge more than someone in a smaller city or country with a lower cost of living.
  • Project scope and duration: Bigger projects with detailed requirements or sensitive systems cost more. Short, straightforward projects might not require a senior-level developer, which can save you money.

Pricing models

Freelance AWS developers typically charge by the hour or per project. Here’s a breakdown of their pricing models:

Hourly rates

Most AWS developers charge from $11 to $70+ depending on experience, location, and project complexity. Hourly rates are great for projects needing ongoing support or flexibility.

Fixed-price contracts

You might prefer a fixed-price model for projects with clear deadlines and requirements. This offers predictability, but any changes mid-project could increase the cost.

What do typical rates look like?

Here’s a rough guide to hourly rates:

  • Entry-level AWS developer: $50–$80/hour
  • Mid-level AWS developer: $80–$120/hour
  • Senior AWS developer: $120–$180/hour
  • AWS solutions architect: $150–$250/hour
  • AWS DevOps engineer: $120–$200/hour

Key takeaways of hiring best AWS developers

Focus on technical expertise, like infrastructure management, and soft skills, like communication. Use coding challenges to evaluate their problem-solving skills. Costs vary by experience and location, but understanding your needs will help you hire AWS developers that are aligned with your goals.
