Cyvl Software Engineering Intern working on user interfaces, backend services, APIs, and machine learning models. Ship production-grade software and learn scalable development in a fast-moving startup.
Responsibilities
As a Software Engineering Intern at Cyvl, you won't be stuck on side projects. You'll work directly on the systems that power our platform: user interfaces, backend services and APIs, and machine learning models. Your work ships to production, so you'll see your impact live in front of customers. You'll learn how to build scalable, production-grade software in a fast-moving startup, alongside engineers who invest in your growth.
Build real product features that ship to customers, across frontend and backend.
Write well-tested code for APIs and services using Python and Supabase, and get hands-on with cloud tools and DevOps workflows.
Collaborate with engineers, designers, and product managers on features that help governments build infrastructure faster.
Develop real fluency with AI coding agents on a large production codebase: how to direct them, review their output, and know when to work by hand.
Grow fast through regular pairing, thorough code reviews, and direct feedback on your work.
Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
Strong programming skills in Python
Basic understanding of databases and SQL (Postgres experience a plus)
Comfort working with AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) as part of a normal development workflow
Excitement to learn new technologies and apply them quickly
Strong communication skills and the ability to work in a collaborative environment

Required
As a Summer Engineering Intern at Cyvl, you won’t be stuck on side projects. You’ll work directly on the systems and features that power our platform — user interfaces, backend services and APIs, and the machine learning models. The work you do will make it into production, meaning you’ll see your impact live in front of customers. You’ll collaborate with our engineering and product teams to design and launch new capabilities, gaining exposure to a wide range of technologies and learning how to build scalable, production-grade software in a fast-moving startup environment.

Preferred
Side projects, class projects, or hackathons that showcase full-stack development
Familiarity with React, Supabase, Docker/Kubernetes, or cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, etc.)
Hands-on computer vision experience: image classification, object detection, or segmentation (PyTorch, YOLO, Roboflow, or similar)
Experience with messy real-world data (cleaning, labeling, or evaluating model output), not just training on a clean benchmark
Interest in geospatial data, 3D mapping technologies, or infrastructure
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.
