People that cannot demonstrate a working knowledge of Linux system internals never pass interviews with me.

I tend to catch the CS bootcamp types cold because I only ask real world practical debugging questions that select for experience.

Google's SRE interview, the SA track one, have a 45-min interview solely focused on Linux system internals. (In addition to standard LeetCode, networking & troubleshooting components.)

A few other larger companies do this as well for SRE interviews.

As it should be. I'd be very wary of company that didn't...

For what role? I wouldn't for example expect that for a full stack role, but I would for something like DevOps or SRE.

Any full stack engineer should have a working knowledge of the system they are writing code for, or they will end up making massive security mistakes.
