Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a critical part of many organizations’ functioning and an AWS developer is responsible for implementing and maintaining apps and services that rely on AWS. An AWS developer must be familiar with AWS tools and workflows, as well as other cloud-based programming languages, tools, and platforms. AWS developers are also tasked with porting on-premises infrastructure and data to the cloud, and must consider cybersecurity, app development, compliance, optimizing workflows and app performance, and system monitoring. AWS is a popular platform and developers who know their stuff are increasingly in demand, with high salaries and job security. For those new to AWS, it can seem overwhelming, but Amazon provides many resources to help get started.
