ABOUT CYVL

The best infrastructure is invisible. You only notice it when it fails. For decades, the people responsible for our roads, bridges and sidewalks have been asked to manage the physical world with tools that can't see it.

Cyvl is the Physical AI company changing that. We build purpose-built sensors, computer vision and AI that turn every drive into current data: what exists, where it is and what condition it's in. 500+ cities and towns use our Infrastructure Intelligence Platform to direct the work and fix problems before they fail. 1 in 30 Americans drive on roads managed with Cyvl data.

The proof isn't a dashboard. It's a smoother commute, a safer walk to school and public dollars going where they matter most. We're a fast-moving team in Boston building hardware, software and AI for the real world. If you believe technology's highest calling is public good, come build with us.

THE ROLE

As a Software Engineering Intern at Cyvl, you won't be stuck on side projects. You'll work directly on the systems that power our platform: user interfaces, backend services and APIs, and machine learning models. Your work ships to production, so you'll see your impact live in front of customers. You'll learn how to build scalable, production-grade software in a fast-moving startup, alongside engineers who invest in your growth.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Build real product features that ship to customers, across frontend and backend.

• Write well-tested code for APIs and services using Python and Supabase, and get hands-on with cloud tools and DevOps workflows.

• Collaborate with engineers, designers, and product managers on features that help governments build infrastructure faster.

• Develop real fluency with AI coding agents on a large production codebase: how to direct them, review their output, and know when to work by hand.

• Grow fast through regular pairing, thorough code reviews, and direct feedback on your work.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field

• Strong programming skills in Python

• Basic understanding of databases and SQL (Postgres experience a plus)

• Comfort working with AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) as part of a normal development workflow

• Excitement to learn new technologies and apply them quickly

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work in a collaborative environment
