Software Engineer

Cyvl • Somerville, MA

3d • $125,000 - $195,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Cyvl is the Physical AI company changing how cities manage infrastructure. We build purpose-built sensors, computer vision, and AI that turn every drive into current data about what exists, where it is, and its condition. Our Infrastructure Intelligence Platform is used by over 500 cities and towns to direct work and fix problems before they fail. As a Software Engineer at Cyvl, you'll build the systems that turn raw sensor data from thousands of miles of roads into the platform cities use to plan their work. You'll own features end to end, from cloud pipelines and APIs to the web app our customers log into every day. We're hiring across levels, from engineers a few years in to senior engineers ready to set technical direction. This role is based in Somerville, MA, or remote from San Francisco, CA.

Requirements

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience (for senior candidates, 5+ years and a track record of leading technical projects)
• Strong Python and experience building production backend systems
• Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred), containers (Docker, Kubernetes), and CI/CD
• Comfort owning ambiguous problems end to end and shipping iteratively
• Clear communication with both technical and non-technical teammates

Nice To Haves

• Geospatial data or tools (PostGIS, GDAL, ArcGIS, QGIS)
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), Go, or TypeScript/React
• 3D graphics or point cloud work (Three.js, WebGL, LiDAR)
• Large-scale ELT pipelines or data lakehouses
• Early-stage startup experience or a history of building from zero to one

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and ship production systems across our stack: Python services, cloud data pipelines, APIs, and the Cyvl web platform.
• Own features from idea to production, working directly with product, data operations, and customers to understand the problem first.
• Build the APIs and integrations (Esri ArcGIS, Cartegraph, and more) that put Cyvl data inside the tools governments already use.
• Make our systems faster, cheaper, and more reliable as we scale to more cities, more miles, and more data.
• Use AI coding tools every day to move faster, and help shape how our team builds with them.

Benefits

• Equity. You'll own a piece of what you're building.
• Health, dental, and vision. Cyvl covers most of the premium for you and your family.
• 401k with a real match, vested day one.
• Generous PTO & Paid Parental leave.
• Learning stipend. Spend it on whatever makes you sharper.
• Paid to live close. A monthly bonus for living near our Boston office.
• Team events. Time together in Boston with a team you’ll love working with.
