About Us:
Cyvl is a Boston-based tech startup revolutionizing the way 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 condition and geospatial reports, saving our customers time, money, and resources. We are in a phase of rapid growth, disrupting a massive and outdated market with our innovative solutions.
About the Role:
As an MLOps Engineer at Cyvl, you will lead the development of the platforms and tooling that empower our Machine Learning team to move quickly and efficiently. Your primary focus will be optimizing our data curation and annotation workflows, ensuring that all labeled datasets and metadata are centrally organized, easily discoverable, and reusable. Beyond data management, you’ll also support experimentation, model training, and deployment workflows to help us bring ML solutions to production faster and with greater reliability. This is a highly cross-functional role where you’ll collaborate with ML engineers, software engineers, and product managers to enable scalable and reproducible machine learning systems.
Responsibilities:
Build and maintain scalable pipelines for data ingestion, preprocessing, labeling, and metadata management.Centralize all ML annotations, datasets, and labels using best-in-class data management and labeling tools.Evaluate and integrate third-party tools and frameworks to increase efficiency of the ML development process.Contribute to infrastructure decisions and promote best practices across the MLOps lifecycle.Design and maintain platforms that accelerate ML experimentation, hyperparameter tuning, and training workflows.Collaborate with ML engineers to streamline and automate deployment of models to production environments.
Required Skills:
3+ years of experience in an MLOps or related role, supporting a team of at least 3 ML engineers.Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration for ML workloads.Experience with the AWS SageMaker suite of toolsFamiliarity with modern data labeling and management platforms (e.g., Label Studio, Kili, Scale AI, CVAT, Prodigy, Postgres, etc.).Experience designing, maintaining, and scaling ML pipelines and tooling.Proficiency in Python and experience with ML libraries (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn).Experience with the Go programming languageExperience with experiment tracking tools (e.g., MLflow, Weights & Biases).Strong knowledge of DevOps, CI/CD practices, and cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred).Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across teams.
