Cyvl is a Boston-based tech startup revolutionizing how 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 time, money, and resources. At Cyvl, our mission is to empower governments to build and maintain public infrastructure they're proud of by accelerating decision-making through our sensors and Infrastructure Intelligence Platform. This role owns the knowledge architecture that connects everything Cyvl knows about infrastructure, turning sensor outputs, documents, public records, and regulatory standards into a unified graph that AI agents and analysts can query to answer the hardest questions cities face. We're a fast-moving, high-growth team that believes in solving real-world problems with authenticity, simplicity, and boldness. Every member of our team is empowered to take ownership, deliver results, and leave a lasting impact on the communities we serve.
About You
You've spent your career turning messy, heterogeneous data into structured, connected knowledge. You've designed ontologies or knowledge graphs for complex real-world domains, built the pipelines that populate them, and thought deeply about entity resolution, provenance, and schema evolution. You understand that the way data is organized determines what questions can be answered, and you've designed data architectures specifically to support agentic and programmatic access. You want to build a knowledge architecture for a domain nobody has modeled at this depth before.
Key Responsibilities
- Define the entity types, relationships, and schemas that organize Cyvl's infrastructure knowledge across sensor data, documents, public records, and regulatory standards.
- Build the association layer that connects ML-derived detections and measurements to work orders, compliance rules, and contextual data sources.
- Design and implement entity resolution pipelines for matching records across heterogeneous sources to physical assets.
- Own provenance and confidence tracking: every fact in the graph carries its source, timestamp, and reliability.
- Architect the knowledge layer so that AI agents can traverse, query, and reason over infrastructure data without custom computation per question.
Qualifications
Required
- 5+ years building knowledge graphs, ontologies, or structured entity-relationship systems for complex real-world domains.
- Production experience designing and populating a knowledge graph from multiple heterogeneous data sources, not just a single clean database.
- Hands-on experience with entity resolution or record linkage at scale: probabilistic matching, geocoding, deduplication, or cross-source association.
- Experience designing data architectures optimized for agentic or programmatic access (LLM tool use, API-driven query, or similar patterns where AI systems consume structured data autonomously).
- Strong data modeling skills with opinions on when to use relational vs. graph vs. document stores, backed by production experience.
- Experience with geospatial data: PostGIS, spatial indexing, coordinate systems, or equivalent.
- Production engineering skills: you write code that ships, build data pipelines, and work alongside software engineers.
Nice to Have
- Experience at Palantir (Forward Deployed Engineer, Ontology Engineer, or similar roles), HD mapping companies (HERE, TomTom, DeepMap), or geospatial intelligence organizations.
- Graph databases in production (Neo4j, Apache Jena, RDF/OWL, or property graph systems).
- Familiarity with infrastructure, civil engineering, or asset management domains.
- Experience with embedding-based retrieval alongside structured graph queries (pgvector or similar).
- Background in schema evolution and ontology versioning as domains grow.
- Experience hiring and mentoring engineers.
What we offer
- Competitive salary and equity package ($250K-$350K total comp, equity-heavy for a founding role)
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
- 401(k) with immediate vesting
- Generous PTO, paid parental leave, and flexible work options
- Annual professional development stipend
- Team events, referral bonuses, and a collaborative, growth-focused culture

Get Access To All JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Which construction companies sponsor Green Card visas in Massachusetts?
Large general contractors operating in Massachusetts, including Suffolk Construction, Turner Construction, and Skanska, have documented histories of sponsoring skilled workers for Green Cards, primarily through the EB-3 category. Specialty subcontractors in electrical, mechanical, and civil work also sponsor, particularly for roles requiring licensed journeymen or engineers. Sponsorship activity tends to concentrate among firms with multi-year project pipelines in the Boston metro area.
Which cities in Massachusetts have the most construction Green Card sponsorship jobs?
Boston and Cambridge account for the greatest concentration of construction Green Card sponsorship activity in Massachusetts, driven by ongoing commercial development, hospital expansions, and life sciences campus construction. Worcester is a growing secondary market, with several large infrastructure and mixed-use projects underway. Springfield and Lowell also see periodic sponsorship activity tied to public infrastructure work and municipal building contracts.
What types of construction roles typically qualify for Green Card sponsorship in Massachusetts?
Roles most commonly sponsored in Massachusetts construction include civil engineers, structural engineers, project managers, construction managers, estimators, and licensed superintendents. EB-3 sponsorship also covers skilled trades positions, including electricians and pipefitters, when employers demonstrate they cannot fill the role domestically through the PERM labor certification process. Roles requiring a bachelor's degree in engineering or construction management tend to move through the EB-2 or EB-3 professional category.
How do I find construction Green Card sponsorship jobs in Massachusetts?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for international workers seeking visa-sponsored roles and lets you filter by visa type, industry, and state, making it straightforward to browse construction Green Card sponsorship jobs in Massachusetts. Because sponsoring a Green Card requires an employer to complete PERM labor certification, focus on larger general contractors and specialty firms with established HR and legal infrastructure. Regularly checking active job listings on Migrate Mate increases your chances of finding roles from employers already familiar with the sponsorship process.
Are there state-specific considerations for Green Card sponsorship in Massachusetts construction?
Massachusetts requires construction workers in many trades to hold a state-issued license, including the Journeyman Electrician and Pipefitter licenses issued by the Division of Professional Licensure. Employers sponsoring foreign nationals through PERM must demonstrate the candidate meets all advertised minimum requirements, so holding or being eligible for the relevant Massachusetts license is often a prerequisite. The state's prevailing wage law under Chapter 149 also applies to public construction contracts, which factors into the wage documentation required for labor certification.
What is the prevailing wage for Green Card construction jobs in Massachusetts?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
