WHY CYVL

Hard tech. Real streets. Your name on it.

• Hard 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.
• Ownership 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.
• Intense, 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.

WHAT WE ASK

• Cross lanes. "Not my job" doesn't exist here.
• Own without a playbook. The plan is still being written, often by you.
• Try, miss, try again. We make big bets. Some won't land, and we learn fast.
• Be 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.

We're a startup building a category. If that sounds like the draw, not the risk, we'd love to talk.

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. Your money is yours from the start.
• Generous PTO & Paid Parental leave. Doing hard work well includes stepping away from it.
• 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.

OUR VALUES

• Real: Authentic and transparent. Focused on solving real problems with simple, effective solutions.
• All Out: Bold, driven, and committed to delivering results that matter.
• Accelerating: Always learning, growing, and moving with intention.
• Reliable: We follow through and deliver at a consistently high bar.
• Empowering: We lift each other up and help governments build infrastructure they can be proud of.
