About The Team

The future of the cloud is networking and the future of networking is software-defined networking. Our team handles all of the AWS customer requests for creating and building their virtual network in the cloud – something we call the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).

This includes managing VPCs, Subnets, Security Groups, Internet Gateways (IGWs), Routes, Peerings, Elastic IPs (EIPs), and Elastic Network Interfaces (ENIs. Every time someone launches a new virtual instance within EC2, they are using one of our services.

From a technical perspective, our services are written using a combination of Rust, Java, and C, along with a few other interesting internal proprietary technologies.
