Working in the Internet of Things (IoT) Industry

August Home designs four products (Smart Lock, Doorbell Cam, Keypad, and Connect), which talk to each other as IoT devices to allow remote, keyless entry. We spoke to Shawn Yapa, a software engineer for iOS and mobile at August Home, about his interest in IoT devices, how August products connect, how he got hired, and what he looks for when hiring engineers.

As for other things to consider when applying for a job: It is good to know that you are a culture fit with the company and that you are passionate about what you would be working on. Yapa says the transparency between the potential candidate and the company's expectations is key.
