Hire AWS developers in India, without opening an entity
Building your product on AWS? Kaamwork’s Tech EOR platform and local HR support let you build a full-time AWS team in India overnight. You own hiring, salaries, and day-to-day management. We handle payroll, compliance, and retention.
How to hire AWS developers
in India
An AWS developer builds applications with AWS services, not just the pipelines around them. Lambda functions, DynamoDB tables, event-driven flows, and the IAM rules that tie it all together. Every account grows its own tangle of services over time.
So companies that hire AWS developers full-time get someone who knows what is running, why, and what it costs. Kaamwork makes that possible in India without a legal entity or a local recruiting team. Your dedicated AWS developer works as your employee, and typically costs around a third of an equivalent US salary.
When you hire AWS developers in India through Kaamwork, you get:
Engineers across Lambda, DynamoDB, AWS CDK, and serverless apps
Salary savings of up to 65% compared with an equivalent hire in the US
Time zone overlap arranged around your working hours, not against them
Scale from one dedicated AWS developer to a full team
Full-time employees who work as an extension of your team, not a vendor bench
What does an AWS developer do?
An AWS developer builds and runs applications on Amazon Web Services, often serverless, using services like Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and S3. Here is what a full-time AWS developer on a Kaamwork team typically owns.
Serverless apps
Builds apps on Lambda, API Gateway, and Step Functions.
APIs
Ships secure APIs on API Gateway or AppSync.
Data stores
Designs DynamoDB tables and RDS databases.
Event-driven flows
Connects services with SQS, SNS, and EventBridge.
Infrastructure as code
Defines resources with AWS CDK or Terraform.
Security
Writes tight IAM policies and handles secrets properly.
Cost control
Finds and cuts waste in your AWS bill.
Migrations
Moves apps from servers or other clouds onto AWS.
Why hire AWS developers in India
India has a large pool of AWS-certified engineers building cloud apps for global companies.
Deepest talent pool
India produces the highest number of STEM graduates each year, and a young, remote-ready workforce with hands-on AWS experience and certifications.
Material savings
Comparable AWS talent typically costs about a third of an equivalent US salary. And you skip the overhead of your own legal entity, which runs about 35% on top of total salary cost.
Risk, handled
Time zone overlap, local tax and labor-law compliance, and retention are the usual friction points. Kaamwork’s EOR and local HR model takes them off your plate.
How to hire an AWS developer through Kaamwork
Five steps from job requirement to an onboarded, full-time AWS developer in India.
Share your AWS requirement
- The AWS services you use, serverless or containers, languages, seniority, and time zone overlap.
Source and shortlist
- Kaamwork’s network of proven recruiters can share relevant AWS developer profiles within 24 hours, matched to the stack and seniority you asked for.
Interview and decide
- You run the interviews and make the offer. The hiring call is always yours.
Onboard in days
- Kaamwork’s Tech EOR platform onboards your new hire with your negotiated salary and title. No entity, no months of setup.
Payroll, benefits, retention
- Cross-border payroll, benefits, and local HR support run in the background, so your new hire feels like part of your team, not a vendor’s.
You keep 100% of the hiring decision. Kaamwork carries the entity, the compliance, and the local HR relationship.
AWS developer cost to hire
How much does it cost to hire an AWS developer in India? With Kaamwork, you pay the developer’s salary plus a flat monthly EOR fee. No entity, no setup bill.
Here is how that compares with opening your own Indian entity. Salary depends on seniority and skill set (serverless apps vs. data services vs. migrations), so talk to us for a benchmark on your specific role.
Add-ons such as laptops, medical insurance, benefits, offsites, and detailed background checks are charged at actual cost, with no markup, on top of salary and the monthly fee.
