About Us:
Cyvl is a Boston-based tech startup revolutionizing how civil engineering firms and governments map and manage transportation infrastructure. Our enterprise-grade hardware and software solutions leverage 3D mapping sensors to capture LiDAR, imagery, and GPS data—retrofitted to our customers' vehicles. This data is processed through our AI-powered cloud pipelines to generate actionable geospatial insights that save cities and engineering firms time, money, and resources.
We’re in a high-growth phase, backed by strong market traction and a tight-knit team solving real-world infrastructure challenges.
About the Role:
We’re looking for a technically savvy, customer-facing Geospatial Solutions Engineer to support Cyvl’s go-to-market team and act as the bridge between our platform and prospective customers. You’ll be the technical backbone of complex sales cycles—translating customer needs into feasible solutions, scoping integrations, and building compelling prototypes.
This role requires strong communication skills, a deep understanding of our hardware and software stack, and the ability to speak confidently with both customers and engineers.
If you’re excited by the idea of owning technical storytelling and helping shape high-impact partnerships, we’d love to hear from you.
Responsibilities: Pre-Sales & Technical Discovery
- Act as the primary technical contact during early-stage sales conversations.
- Lead solution discovery—understanding workflows, data schema needs, and system integration challenges.
- Translate technical product capabilities into real-world value for transportation agencies, consultants, and municipalities.
- Present demos and walkthroughs for customized use cases.
- Assist with technical scoping, timeline feasibility, and delivery plans for complex proposals.
- Support the GTM team by owning and answering product capability questions—internally and externally.
Responsibilities: Customer Prototyping & Integration

- Reformat and map Cyvl’s data outputs to match customer schemas, templates, or GIS layers.
- Guide onboarding of new customers—troubleshooting sensor setup, data upload, and file system delivery.
- Support light custom integrations into customer systems (e.g., asset management, geodatabases)
- Collaborate with product/engineering teams to support data ingestion (e.g., GeoJSON, Shapefiles, WMS, PostGIS), API integration, or cloud deployment (AWS, Azure, GCP).
- Troubleshoot spatial analysis workflows using tools like QGIS, ArcGIS, or custom Python pipelines.
Responsibilities: Collaboration & Product Feedback
- Partner with product and engineering teams to suggest feature improvements and flag edge cases.
- Help define internal tools that automate POC creation or customer delivery formatting.
- Identify repetitive customer needs that can be standardized into new features or templates.
- Be the voice of the customer, helping drive new feature development.
Required Skills:
- 3-5 years of experience in a technical sales role
- Ability to communicate complex technical topics clearly to non-technical audiences
- Comfortable building simple visualizations or proof-of-concept outputs
- Strong collaboration skills — you’ll work across Sales, Engineering, and Product daily
- Organized, self-driven, and able to manage multiple concurrent sales conversations
- Coding/scripting experience (Python, bash, or similar)
- Strong knowledge of GIS concepts: projections, shapefiles, raster/vector, LiDAR, spatial accuracy
- Proficiency with tools like QGIS, GeoPandas, Shapely, Python, ArcGIS, PostGIS
Nice to Have:
- Exposure to 3D data types (LiDAR, point clouds, mapping) or imagery
- Exposure to data annotation tools (CVAT, etc)
- Experience creating or presenting technical solutions in sales settings
- Understanding of sensor hardware deployments or edge devices
What We Offer:
- Competitive salary and equity package
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
