I can barely remember any pandas syntax. It's such a poorly designed API, why would I try to commit it memory? That might just fuck up your intuitive sense for what good API design looks like.

I have 20 YOE, have taken state of the art models from research to production. I can write code in more than a dozen languages.

And yet I use Google and stack overflow constantly because I value my time.

Don't worry op, they are not hiring the best. They are just hiring people that have never programmed outside of the world of pandas.
