  You need to analyze each of those bullet points and expand on what they mean.
  
  Let's look at the first, and very significant bullet point:
  
  > Knowledge building out a complete IoT solution stack
  
  
• What is IoT?
  
• What are the components of an IoT stack?
  
  It should be noted that else where in the job description, the concept of IoT as a component of Smart Cities is added to the conversation.
  
  
• What is a Smart City?
  
• How is IoT used to create a Smart City?
  
  > identifying gaps with current platform and developing plans to fit those gaps
  
  Gaps in an IoT platform... so some infrastructure and software development systems integration is expected.
  You will need to be comfortable with large scale systems design work.
  
  What is a large scale system, and how does one design one? Perhaps starting with smaller scale first might be a wise path...
