The Role
You’re going to be the CEO’s right hand at one of the fastest-growing infrastructure AI companies in the country. Not fetching coffee. Not sitting in on calls quietly. Building, shipping, and closing.
CYVL is helping cities assess the condition of the infrastructure we all rely on every day — roads, sidewalks, bridges — and fix it better, faster, and cheaper than ever before. We combine hardware, software, and AI into unmatched data products that are quickly becoming the national standard. We’re outcompeting billion-dollar civil engineering firms on every RFP we enter and building partnerships with some of the biggest software and technology companies in the world. And we’re just getting started.
This summer, you’ll have a front-row seat to a Series A startup operating at full speed —enterprise sales, AI deployment, product development, marketing, partnerships, and fundraising. You won’t watch. You’ll do.
What You’ll Actually Do
Build AI-powered tools and automations using Claude Code to solve real business problems — every single week.
Deploy AI agents that automate workflows across sales, ops, and marketing
Join customer meetings and trade shows with the CEO
Help build prototypes, pitch materials, and demos for major enterprise deals
Support deal strategy for city governments and Fortune 500 partners
Create content, run campaigns, and help shape how CYVL shows up in the market
Research markets, competitors, and partnership opportunities

Do whatever needs to get done — this role has no walls
Who You Are
AI-native. This is non-negotiable. You build with AI tools — Claude Code, Cursor, Replit, whatever — the way previous generations used Google. If you can’t turn a business problem into a working prototype by end of day, this isn’t the role.
A builder. You don’t wait for instructions. You see a gap, you fill it. You see a problem, you ship a solution.
A grinder. You work hard. You move fast. You don’t complain about ambiguity — you thrive in it.
A quick learner. One week you’re prepping for a meeting with a city DOT. The next you’re wiring up an automation pipeline. The next you’re at a conference in another city. You adapt.
Hungry. You want to learn about enterprise sales, startup operations, physical AI, smart city technology, and what it takes to build a company that matters.
What You’ll Get
The most intense, educational internship of your life
Direct mentorship from the CEO of a venture-backed company reshaping how cities manage infrastructure
Real exposure to enterprise sales, AI product development, fundraising, and go-to-market strategy
A portfolio of things you actually built and shipped — not busywork
Travel to customer sites, conferences, and partner meetings
A network in AI, govtech, and venture capital that most people don’t build until they’re 10 years into their career
About CYVL
CYVL is the infrastructure intelligence company. We use hardware, software, and AI to assess the condition of physical infrastructure — the roads, sidewalks, and structures that cities and their residents depend on every day. Our Infrastructure Intelligence Index (I3) isbecoming the standard for how cities understand and manage their built environment. We serve 500+ cities, we beat billion-dollar engineering firms head-to-head, and we’re building partnerships with some of the largest technology companies in the world to scale this mission even further.
We’re a ~40-person team based in Somerville, MA. We work in-person, every day. The energy is real. The mission is massive. And we’re looking for someone who wants to be part of it.
