Hire IoT developers for connected devices that stay connected

Connected products fail in the field: weak signals, dead batteries and firmware that cannot be updated safely. Cubehire IoT developers write efficient firmware, connect devices securely to the cloud and build the dashboards and over the air updates that keep a fleet healthy.

Vetting

How we vet IoT Developers

Every IoT developer sits the Cubehire AI interview: multiple choice fundamentals, a timed written and coding round, and a recorded video round. A person on our team then reviews the profile before any company sees it. For this role, the interview checks that they can:

  1. Check 1

    Designs firmware that survives power loss during an update without bricking the device.

  2. Check 2

    Explains how to secure device identity and data from device to cloud.

  3. Check 3

    Plans battery life for a sensor that reports over a weak connection.

Questions about hiring IoT Developers

What companies ask before they hire a IoT developer through Cubehire.

Talk to our team
Yes. You ship development boards or prototypes, and they work with remote debugging, logs and regular video reviews. Many teams already work this way.
AWS IoT Core and Azure IoT Hub are most common, plus self hosted MQTT brokers for smaller fleets.
Yes. Secure, signed OTA updates with rollback are a standard part of the builds they deliver.
No. We place firmware and software developers. Hardware and PCB design stays with your engineering partner.
A flat rate quoted before you interview anyone: a one time fee for full time placements, or a fixed monthly rate for contract work. There is no percentage of salary. See the pricing page for current rates.
