Iago is speaking of duplicitous office seekers who want positions under Othello.
Harold Bloom, in his lectures on Shakespeare, considers Iago to be one of the most heinous villains ever portrayed in literature, similar to and often based upon the 'fallen angel' in Milton's Paradise Lost (an interesting observation...). I just had a copy of Paradise Lost in my hands yesterday and was debating whether to buy it to read but deferred for now.)
Iago's subterfuge was ultimately responsible for the death of Othello and Desdemona, among others.

“I will wear my heart upon my sleeve” (I.i. 61)
...but
it goes on to say...
“for daws to peck at. I am not who I am.” (Iago, I.i.62)
Also:
“a
knee-crooking knave,”
“when they
have lined their coats,”
“In following him, I follow but myself,”
“not I for love or duty, but seeming so.”
“not I for love or duty, but seeming so.”
“obsequious bondage.”
