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\nYou'll join the Data Operations team, the group that turns raw street-level capture into the map layers 500+ cities rely on. Every day, sensor data from the field flows through our processing pipelines and comes out as road conditions, sidewalk inventories, sign catalogs, and pavement scores. You'll own pieces of that pipeline: running deliveries end to end, catching data problems before a customer does, and writing the scripts that make the next delivery faster than the last.\nWHAT YOU'LL DO\nProcess customer deliveries end to end: run geospatial data through our Python pipelines, validate the output, and publish the final layers to the Cyvl platform.\n\nBuild QC checks that review data automatically.\n\nInvestigate failed and stalled processing jobs in our AWS pipelines, find the root cause, and document the fix.\n\nAutomate recurring manual steps into repeatable scripts and runbooks, and measure the time saved.\n\nPartner with engineering and customer success to turn field-reported issues into code fixes or process improvements.\n\nWHAT YOU BRING\nCurrently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field\n\nProficiency in Python; comfortable writing scripts that read, transform, and validate data\n\nComfort working in a terminal and with version control\n\nAvailable full-time for 10-12 weeks in Summer 2027, based in our Somerville office\n\nNICE TO HAVE\nGIS experience (QGIS or ArcGIS, and formats like GeoJSON, shapefiles, GeoPackage)\n\nFamiliarity with cloud infrastructure, especially AWS\n\nSQL and experience querying real datasets\n\nExposure to geospatial Python libraries (geopandas, shapely)\n\nInterest in civic infrastructure, transportation, or public-sector technology\n\nA knack for the business side: you think about how data drives decisions and like problems like \"how do we track this better\" or \"how do we make this visible to the team\"\n\nExperience building dashboards or turning data into something a non-technical person can act on\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.\n\nWe're a startup building a category. If that sounds like the draw, not the risk, we'd love to talk.\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\nWANT TO GO THE EXTRA MILE? (OPTIONAL)\nIf you're excited about this role and want to tell us more, email  with the subject line \"Data Ops Intern, [Your Name]\" and answer any or all of these:\nWhy Cyvl, and why a startup? What draws you to this kind of work, and to a small team where your work ships right away?\n\nWhat's the coolest thing you've built with AI? A class project, side project, script, or experiment all count. Tell us what it did and what you learned.\n\nTell us about a time you solved a problem by fixing the process instead of just working harder. What was slowing you down? What did you change? What happened?\n\nA few honest paragraphs beat an AI-slop essay. Links to code, notebooks, or demos are welcome.\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":5418,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Geospatial Analytics","Smart City"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-16T23:27:46Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"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":"2026-11-09T07:32:21+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":17,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.462,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":53,"expected_fill_days":32,"reasons":["conf:4","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-09T06:03:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":50000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cyvl-data-operations-intern-summer-2027","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cyvl-data-operations-intern-summer-2027.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-09T14:46:48Z","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":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":20451,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"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-operations-intern-summer-2027"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"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-operations-intern-summer-2027"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"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-operations-intern-summer-2027"},{"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-operations-intern-summer-2027\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcyvl-data-operations-intern-summer-2027"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":985211}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"cyvl.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":985211},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
