These are kind oddly specific criteria, no?

Your ideal candidate needs to know: assembly, trivia about the history of eBPF, an obscure data structure specific to a certain field. As a bonus you would like them to know a little electrical engineering, and written on OS kernel as well?

Are those really things you think new grads need to know? I'm not sure you could find more than a handful of mid level or senior engineers with familiar with more than 2/3 of that.

This reads to me like things you know, that you think everyone should know.

Why not details on the network stack? Or database design and internals? Why not file systems specifically?

Those are much more relevant to the majority of modern development that the differences between bpf and epbf.
