Get AWS Engineers
Cloud infrastructure engineers from Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia who design, build, and operate AWS environments. They write infrastructure as code, manage multi-account setups, and keep costs and security in check — not just the compute.
Senior AWS engineers in the US earn $160k-$200k. LATAM equivalents deliver at $75k-$110k — significant for roles that are often long-term infrastructure commitments.
LATAM's UTC-3 to UTC-5 range overlaps with US business hours for 4-8 hours. More importantly, on-call schedules can be shared without requiring a developer to be available at 3am.
Cloud engineers need to write runbooks, incident postmortems, and architecture documentation that engineers at all levels can follow. LATAM AWS engineers are accustomed to this kind of technical writing.
A significant number of LATAM cloud engineers hold AWS certifications (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer, Security Specialty). We verify certifications and ask about hands-on experience separately.
LATAM AWS engineers increasingly work infrastructure-as-code from day one. Terraform and AWS CDK are standard tools, not optional extras.
Every candidate completes all five stages before you see their profile. You can also run your own technical round after our screening.
A timed test measuring analytical thinking, pattern recognition, and problem-solving clarity, independent of specific programming language knowledge.
A structured interview assessing communication style, conflict resolution, ownership mindset, and English proficiency in a professional context.
A 90-minute live session covering VPC design (subnets, NAT gateways, routing tables, security group rules), IAM policy writing and least-privilege design, and a Terraform module they write live for a multi-tier application. We cover cost optimization: how they identify waste using Cost Explorer and Trusted Advisor, and when they'd use Savings Plans vs Reserved Instances vs Spot. The session includes a real incident scenario — a service is throwing 500s in production, CloudWatch alarms are firing, and we walk through how they'd diagnose and mitigate it.
Verification of work history, education, and identity with written consent, aligned with applicable privacy rules including LGPD where relevant.
We speak with at least two professional references who worked with the candidate in an engineering context, not personal contacts.
After our screening, you can optionally run your own technical round before making an offer.

AWS engineers in our network treat infrastructure like code: versioned, reviewed, and tested before it reaches production. They use AI tools to handle the time-consuming parts of cloud work, which frees them up for the architecture and security decisions that matter.
GitHub Copilot for Terraform module scaffolding and IAM policy boilerplate. Complex policy documents and resource definitions get written faster without sacrificing correctness — though they always review the output.
AWS Cost Anomaly Detection is set up as standard. They don't wait for the bill to discover cost issues — they instrument alerts before the account grows.
AI-assisted security scanning using tools like Checkov and Semgrep for Terraform. IaC gets reviewed for security misconfigurations before it merges.
They write runbooks and incident postmortems as part of their work, not as a post-sprint task. Documentation is their responsibility, not the team lead's.
They flag under-utilized resources and right-sizing opportunities proactively. Cost awareness is a daily habit, not a quarterly review.
