Job description

Why Join Afero? The next wave of AI lives in everyday devices. Help build it.

Our vision is to make all the world's devices secure and AI-powered, through innovation and scale. Come build the products used by millions of people every day.

Afero is the IoT platform as a service trusted by manufacturers and brands to make connected devices both smart and secure. Today, Afero technology powers more than 20 million devices across 200+ products from 50+ manufacturers. Afero has more than 130 patents, one of the largest IoT patent portfolios globally, and was named a 2024 IoT Breakthrough Winner for IoT Security Platform of the Year. Afero is driven by a team of world-class executives and veterans in mobile, hardware, security, consumer and cloud, leveraging experience from Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Netflix, Disney, Roku and Danger.

Microcontrollers, the low-cost, low-power chips inside plugs, bulbs, locks, sensors, thermostats, and meters, ship at a rate of more than 4 billion a year, more than phones, laptops, and servers combined. Yet they lack a common software layer for identity, connectivity, provisioning, updates, fleet management, and enterprise-grade security. Afero delivers that layer: a unified platform, tested at scale in The Home Depot's Hubspace smart home ecosystem, for devices that cannot run a general-purpose operating system like Linux or Android. These devices form the far edge, connecting the physical and digital worlds so modern AI can meet people where they are.
