About interos.ai:
interos.ai is the standard for supply chain risk intelligence. Our Resilience platform, powered by an 11B buyer-supplier knowledge graph and 250M+ businesses scored across six risk factors, Cyber, Catastrophic, ESG, Restrictions, Geopolitical, and Finance, is run by Fortune 1000 market leaders and trusted by major Federal departments. As the only AI-powered SaaS platform that comprehensively assesses risk across these domains, interos.ai helps customers understand their exposure through our proprietary iScore® and assists both real-time and anticipatory opportunities to mitigate supply chain risk.
Our second-generation platform, iQ, is the industry's first fully productized predictive analytics platform for supply chain risk. iQ orchestrates ERP and Resilience platform insights to deliver AI-driven suggestions for supply chain risk management, helping organizations quantify financial exposure, stay ahead of geopolitical volatility and shifting tariffs, and communicate risk in the language CFOs use every day.
We are not afraid to challenge conventions, explore new ideas, and iterate quickly. Our work is meaningful, the problems are complex, and the pace requires focus, curiosity, and adaptability.
We are looking for people who are humble in how they collaborate, hungry to succeed, and smart in how they work. People who thrive here are energized by broad exposure, comfortable navigating ambiguity, open to feedback, proactive in taking ownership, and motivated by making a real impact.
