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.\nCyvl 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.\nThe 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.\nTHE ROLE\nEvery Cyvl drive captures LiDAR, imagery, and GPS data that has to become something a city engineer can trust. As a Data Engineer, you'll build and scale the pipelines and data platform behind our Infrastructure Intelligence Platform, taking raw sensor data through processing, AI inference, and QA to client-ready geospatial deliverables. Your work sets how fast we deliver, what it costs, and how much customers trust the numbers. This role is based in Somerville, MA, or remote from San Francisco, CA.\nWHAT YOU'LL DO\nDesign, build, and operate pipelines that move sensor data from ingest to client-ready geospatial outputs.\n\nBuild and maintain our data platform so product, AI, and analytics teams can find and use data fast.\n\nBuild automated data quality checks and monitoring that catch problems before customers do.\n\nPartner with Data Operations and GIS teams to automate manual workflows and increase throughput.\n\nImprove the cost and performance of processing at scale on AWS.\n\nWHAT YOU BRING\n3+ years building production data pipelines or data platforms\n\nStrong Python and SQL\n\nExperience with cloud data infrastructure (AWS preferred) and workflow orchestration (Airflow, Dagster, Prefect, or similar)\n\nExperience making large, messy datasets reliable\n\nComfort owning systems end to end, from design through on-call\n\nNICE TO HAVE\nGeospatial data experience (PostGIS, GDAL, GeoParquet, H3 or other spatial indexing)\n\nSensor data: LiDAR point clouds, imagery, GPS/IMU\n\nLakehouse formats and engines (Iceberg, Delta, DuckDB, Spark)\n\nDocker, Kubernetes, and Terraform\n\nSupporting ML training and inference pipelines\n\nWHY CYVL\nHard tech. Real streets. Your name on it.\nHard problems in the real world. You build end-to-end: our own hardware, software and AI, with work that shows up on the street in the real world.\n\nOwnership that compounds. You own outcomes, not tasks. You work directly with customers and across our team, and you'll own more, sooner, than almost anywhere else.\n\nIntense, with heart. We're building a category, so it's not a place to coast. We also take care of each other, have genuine fun together, and believe in what we are doing.\n\nWHAT WE ASK\nCross lanes. \"Not my job\" doesn't exist here.\n\nOwn without a playbook. The plan is still being written, often by you.\n\nTry, miss, try again. We make big bets. Some won't land, and we learn fast.\n\nBe in the room. We're on-site in Somerville about 90% of the time. If you're based in San Francisco, this role is remote, and you'll be with the team in Somerville for the moments that matter like onboarding, kick-offs, and milestones.\n\nWe're a startup building a category. If that sounds like the draw, not the risk, we'd love to talk.\nBENEFITS\nEquity. You'll own a piece of what you're building.\n\nHealth, dental, and vision. Cyvl covers most of the premium for you and your family.\n\n401k with a real match, vested day one. Your money is yours from the start.\n\nGenerous PTO & Paid Parental leave. Doing hard work well includes stepping away from it.\n\nLearning stipend. Spend it on whatever makes you sharper.\n\nPaid to live close. A monthly bonus for living near our Boston office.\n\nTeam events. Time together in Boston with a team you’ll love working with.\n\nOUR VALUES\nReal: Authentic and transparent. Focused on solving real problems with simple, effective solutions.\n\nAll Out: Bold, driven, and committed to delivering results that matter.\n\nAccelerating: Always learning, growing, and moving with intention.\n\nReliable: We follow through and deliver at a consistently high bar.\n\nEmpowering: We lift each other up and help governments build infrastructure they can be proud of.\n\nSEE OUR WORK\nHow Atlanta cut downtown potholes by 60%\n\nHow Buffalo turned a campaign promise into a paving plan\n\nHow to rebuild US infrastructure smarter\n\nWe build for every community, so we hire from all of them. The best people for this work come from different backgrounds, paths, and places, and many of them don't check every box. If this role excites you, apply anyway. If you need an adjustment to our interview process, tell us and we'll make it work.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5018,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Equity","Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Geospatial Analytics","Smart City"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-30T03:29:38Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"green card filings: 1","filings_12m":0,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":1,"median_offered_wage_usd":172500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-03T21:08:04+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":89,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.893,"p_room":1,"age_days":6,"expected_fill_days":34,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-06T05:45:30Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":195000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cyvl-data-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cyvl-data-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-06T21:10:28Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"search","counted_by":"address","units_charged":0,"used_today":0,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":null,"resets_at":"2026-10-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":674293},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=674293"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcyvl-data-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcyvl-data-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcyvl-data-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cyvl-data-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcyvl-data-engineer"}]}
