Some of these are non-negotiable
C and C++ with object-oriented design and data structures, Linux kernel and device drivers, system bring-up, and debugging hard system-level faults. Those repeat through both the requirements and the job family description, so treat them as the floor and expect the conversation to go deep on one of them.
Networking and embedded platform work is marked preferred. The scripting and DevOps line asks for familiarity without a depth marker. A candidate with real kernel and driver work but thinner networking has a case. The reverse is thinner.
The last requirement asks for one or more of two areas: the CPU complex side with PCIe, SPI, I2C, FPGA and flash drivers, or the Ethernet side with MacSec, timing, optics and SerDes. Pick the one you have genuinely touched and be able to walk through a specific fault you chased in it.
Lead your CV with the kernel work
Get the C/C++ and Linux kernel material into the top third, and name things: which driver, which board bring-up, which subsystem, what the fault turned out to be. A list of protocols tells a reviewer less than one sentence about a bug you tracked down through the OS layer.
This is a level-two post that expects independent judgement and some mentoring, so show ownership of a component, a review cycle or a piece of documentation you carried yourself. Large codebase experience is called out as preferred, and Junos Evolved is exactly that, so give a sense of scale from your last job: how big the tree was, how many teams fed into it, which build system you learned to work inside.
Scripting and DevOps practices appear without much detail attached. If you have automated a build or a test rig, say which tool and what it replaced.
