Senior Data Engineer

<div><b>Role: Senior Data Engineer</b><br> <br> <b>About interos.ai</b><br> interos.ai is defining the category of supply chain risk intelligence, building the world’s most trusted and transparent supply chains.

As the first and only automated supplier intelligence platform, interos.ai gives organizations real-time visibility into extended supply chains to protect against regulatory risk, unethical labor, cyber threats, and systemic vulnerabilities — all through a single pane of glass. <br>  <br> With customers spanning commercial, Federal, A&D, and public sectors, including Global Fortune 500 companies and members of the Five Eyes nations, interos.ai offers a rare opportunity to help shape an early, fast‑growing market that’s transforming global security and economic resilience.
