There are several Architects and a Lead Platform Engineer incoming.

There is a lot of complexity with the ongoing product base - IoT, Security, Connectivity etc. Although this wont directly fall within your immediate remit, navigating discussions with a relatively ad-hoc Product/Programme team will be a necessity. There is a lot of transformation and excellent stakeholder management skills are required.
