Startup Builder

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 cant 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 its 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 isnt a dashboard. Its a smoother commute a safer walk to school and public dollars going where they matter most. Were a fast-moving team in Boston building hardware software and AI for the real world. If you believe technologys highest calling is public good come build with us.

We dont have one yet.

This posting is for people who are excited about Cyvl but dont see an open role that fits. Maybe youve built a company and youre looking for the next hard problem.
