Why we read it this way (3)
The posting has no formal 'Required' vs. 'Preferred' section headings. C++ and systems fundamentals (Linux, networking, CPU/memory) are framed with firm language ('strong experience', 'solid fundamentals') and treated as hard gates. Low-latency and distributed systems experience is explicitly called 'a plus' and treated as preferred.
Networking and CPU/memory proficiency are core to the Linux systems fundamentals requirement rather than distinct named tools, so they are folded into the Linux skill rather than emitted separately.
No compensation, degree, clearance, or employment-type information is provided.
