You are supposed to structure it. I know their internals on a high level but I work with internals of a oss engine. I know how their read / write paths vary, data structures for storage, for locking, for request scheduling, checkpointing algorithms, scheduler, etc.

The point is you've to structure your knowledge in a way the other person can understand. There is no value for any company, if you can't share whatever knowledge / experience you've in a structured format.

Not everyone is familiar with internals of commonly used tools but the underlying patterns or concepts remain the same.

If you can't explain that, then you are lacking in communication skill or maybe no one ever gave you feedback. It's just a matter of time.
