ABout Us
We built Rivia because we were tired of watching companies get burned.
The Cloud Engineering Industry Has A Problem.
Companies desperate for expertise end up hiring contractors who promise the world but deliver expensive learning experiences. Junior engineers masquerade as “cloud specialists.” Offshore teams submit the lowest bids while clients pray for the best.
We decided to do something about it
Our Story
Rivia was founded by cloud engineers who spent years watching talented companies struggle with the same problem: finding trustworthy, senior-level cloud expertise without the enterprise budget or hiring timeline.
After collectively managing hundreds of millions in cloud infrastructure, responding to countless 3AM outages, and optimizing systems for companies from startups to Fortune 500s, we realized something critical: most cloud problems aren’t technical problems—they’re experience problems.
The difference between a $50,000 mistake and a $50,000 optimization often comes down to having worked through similar challenges before. The gap between a security audit that finds real vulnerabilities versus one that checks compliance boxes is measured in years of hands-on experience.
So we built the company we wished existed when we were CTOs and engineering leaders.
What We Stand For
Our team brings a wealth of expertise backed by industry-recognized credentials and certifications, ensuring you’re supported by seasoned professionals at every step.
We specialize in leading technologies such as AWS, Azure, and Terraform, leveraging our deep knowledge to deliver innovative and effective solutions. As a proud AWS Partner and Microsoft Gold Partner, we collaborate with the most trusted names in the industry to bring you cutting-edge tools and resources.
Our proven track record and partnerships reflect our commitment to excellence and our ability to tackle even the most complex cloud challenges.
Our Standards
Every Rivia engineer meets strict criteria:
- 5+ years minimum hands-on cloud architecture experience
- Verified employment history with reference checks
- Criminal background verification
- Credit history validation
- Multi-cloud certifications backed by real-world implementation
- Production incident experience (because theory doesn’t prepare you for 3 AM outages)
You don’t just get assigned an engineer, you choose your engineer:
- We present qualified candidates for your project/account
- You interview and meet potential team members
- You approve engineers before they access any systems
- Direct communication channels (no middleman support tickets)
- Monthly training and certification updates
- Peer code reviews for all client work
- Regular client feedback sessions
- Performance monitoring and improvement plans
WHY We're Different
Our Approach
Strategy First
We don’t start with implementation—we start with understanding. What are your business goals? Where do you want to be in 12 months? What keeps you up at night? Our solutions align with your objectives, not just technical best practices.
Measured Results
Every optimization is measured. Every improvement is documented. Every recommendation comes with clear ROI projections. We track what matters: uptime, performance, security posture, and cost efficiency.
Partnership Mindset
We’re not vendors—we’re an extension of your team. Our success is measured by your success: faster deployments, lower costs, better security, and fewer sleepless nights.
Industries We Serve
From seed-stage startups to Series C scale-ups, we help technology companies build infrastructure that grows with them—without the growing pains.
HIPAA compliance, data security, and high-availability systems for companies handling sensitive patient information.
PCI DSS compliance, fraud detection systems, and high-frequency trading infrastructure that demands microsecond reliability.
Black Friday-ready infrastructure, payment processing security, and inventory systems that scale with seasonal demand.
Law firms, consulting companies, and service providers who need enterprise-grade security without enterprise complexity.
A different Breed
Our Commitment to You
No Learning on Your Dime
Our engineers come prepared. We don’t use your production environment as a training ground or experiment with unproven technologies on your critical systems.
Proactive Communication
Regular updates, detailed reporting, and direct access to your engineering team. You’ll always know what we’re working on and why it matters.
Flexible Engagement Models
Whether you need ongoing managed services, project-based solutions, or team training, we adapt to your needs and budget—not the other way around.
Results-Driven Guarantee
If we can’t demonstrate clear value within the first 30 days, we’ll work for free until we do. Your success is our reputation.
Ready to Experience the Rivia Difference?
We’re not the cheapest option. We’re not trying to be.
We’re the option for companies that have learned the hard way that “cheap” cloud engineering often becomes the most expensive mistake they’ve ever made.
We’re for teams that want to work with engineers who:
- Get it right the first time
- Prevent problems instead of just fixing them
- Build for scale, not for shortcuts
- Transfer knowledge instead of hoarding it
- Take ownership of outcomes, not just deliverables
