Senior AWS developers, based in the US, working your hours
AWS architecture, migrations, and cost cleanups, built by US engineers who have run production workloads on AWS.
- Every engineer lives and works in the US
- Works your hours, joins your standups
- NDA and full IP assignment from day one

"NextGen scaled us from 2 to 7 dedicated engineers in under a quarter. Enterprise-grade capacity, zero agency drag."
"Their R&D tax credit workflow platform paid for itself in the first filing season."
"AI-native from day one. Our IRS transcript pipeline runs 24/7 without a human in the loop."
"Property tax appeals used to take weeks. Their comp analysis tooling turned it into hours."
"The AI intake agent handles our tier-1 patient calls with a hand-off cleaner than our old call center."
"POS, inventory, ordering — all unified. We finally have one source of truth across every location."
"The procurement platform paid for itself in the first quarter of use."
"They shipped our matching engine in 6 weeks. Our old team would've taken 6 months."
"Enterprise-grade delivery without the enterprise-agency price tag."
"Their team plugged into our sprint on day one. Zero ramp time."

Sound familiar?
- Hiring a senior AWS developer full-time is taking months.
- Your AWS codebase has grown messy and every change breaks something else.
- Offshore hand-offs and time-zone gaps turn one-day fixes into week-long threads.
- You need someone senior enough to make decisions, not just close tickets.

They start shipping
Onboarded into your repo, tools, and review process, with a weekly written update.
Hire US-based AWS developers from NextGen Coding Company for serverless APIs, containerized services, and infrastructure as code. Start with the workload: Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda suit event-driven endpoints, while Amazon ECS with Fargate supports container services without managing host instances. AWS CDK v2, Terraform, and CloudFormation offer different ways to define environments; choose based on your existing repositories, review process, and operational requirements.
AWS work becomes difficult when IAM permissions sprawl, queues accumulate failed messages, or deployments depend on undocumented console changes. Define priorities around least-privilege access, CloudWatch visibility, repeatable deployments, and tested recovery paths for services such as Amazon RDS and DynamoDB. Every engineer lives and works in the US, without offshore subcontracting. Book a 15-minute call to discuss your architecture, ownership boundaries, and the next workload you need to ship.
Frequently asked questions
- Should I hire an AWS developer for Lambda or ECS experience?
- Choose based on how the application runs. Lambda experience matters for event-driven workloads, concurrency controls, and retry semantics. ECS experience matters for container health checks, task sizing, networking, and deployment behavior. Bring execution duration, traffic patterns, and operational constraints to the interview rather than selecting a service before examining the workload.
- Should our AWS infrastructure use Terraform or AWS CDK?
- Terraform is useful when your organization already manages infrastructure through providers and reviewed plans. AWS CDK v2 lets teams define CloudFormation-backed infrastructure in languages such as TypeScript or Python. Evaluate state management, deployment permissions, construct ownership, and team familiarity. Either approach needs reviewable changes and a plan for importing existing resources.
- What AWS security skills should I test in an interview?
- Ask the developer to narrow an overly broad IAM policy and explain role assumption, temporary credentials, and resource policies. Include AWS Secrets Manager, KMS permissions, and private networking where relevant. A useful exercise is tracing which identity accesses an S3 object and how CloudTrail records that access when the appropriate events are enabled.
- How should an AWS developer handle failed events and retries?
- The answer should distinguish delivery behavior across SQS, EventBridge, and Lambda event sources. Discuss idempotent handlers, visibility timeouts, dead-letter queues, and safe replay procedures. For SQS-triggered Lambda functions, partial batch responses can avoid retrying successful records. CloudWatch alarms should make growing backlogs and repeated failures visible before they become an operational surprise.
- How does hiring a US-based AWS developer through NextGen work?
- Book a 15-minute call and bring an architecture sketch, your infrastructure tooling, and the first delivery priority. Most teams interview matched engineers within a week of that call. Engineers work your hours and join your standups. We sign an NDA and full IP assignment before touching code, including infrastructure definitions and deployment scripts.
- Are your developers really based in the US?
- Yes. Every engineer lives and works in the United States. No offshore subcontracting and no hand-offs to another team. That's written into the contract.
- How fast can someone start?
- Most teams interview matched engineers within a week of the first call. Start dates depend on your interview process.
