AWS: mercado
AWS is the largest cloud platform and the second most frequent technology anchor in the IT postings we track: 29 457 open positions list AWS in the requirements, 27 027 of them fresh. AWS stopped being an admin-only niche long ago: EC2, S3, Lambda, EKS and RDS appear in backend, data and ML requirements as often as in infrastructure roles. The bulk of demand comes from DevOps, Fullstack and Architect roles. Alongside AWS, employers most often name Azure, Python and GCP. 42% of the postings allow remote work. This page shows live demand for engineers with AWS skills — trend, countries, seniority and the adjacent stack.
O mercado de AWS tem agora 29.457 vagas abertas, 27.027 delas observadas recentemente. Median salary $10.000/mo. Observed candidate pool — 2.600.
42% of AWS postings allow fully remote work: cloud infrastructure is not tied to an office, yet the share stays below 100% — some roles require working inside the customer's environment.

Timeline: postings and sources
How many AWS postings appeared each week since Aug 10, and from how many sources. The second line separates market growth from coverage growth: a jump in the week new sources were connected means we started seeing more, not that the market grew.

Perguntas frequentes
Frequently asked questions about the AWS market — short answers from the same slice.
Which roles need AWS?
Demand is widest in DevOps, Fullstack, Architect and Data roles. DevOps and platform engineers use AWS as their primary environment, backend engineers for serverless and managed services, data engineers for S3/Glue/Redshift pipelines, ML teams for SageMaker and GPU instances.
What is required together with AWS?
Most often — Azure, Python, GCP and Kubernetes. The typical combo: Terraform for infrastructure as code, Kubernetes (EKS) for orchestration, Python or Go as the working language, plus CI/CD.
Do I need AWS certifications to get shortlisted?
Certifications (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer) appear in a share of postings as a plus rather than a filter: hands-on experience with specific services is required notably more often than a certificate.
Can I work with AWS remotely?
Yes: 42% of postings with an explicit format allow fully remote work; the slice tracks 29 457 open AWS positions. The exception is roles with access to restricted environments — those more often require presence.
