À propos de ce poste Product Manager chez Afero
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.
