This, to me, is the true meaning of "native PostgreSQL" (as opposed to
"stock PostgreSQL", which is uncustomized code). However, if the job wanted
post was written by an HR flunky, it could mean anything.

In my experience it refers to *development directly via SQL against the
Postgres server* rather than via an ORM like Django or the like. A
remarkably high percentage of applications backed by Postgres have been
written by developers that have never actually seen or written SQL code
directly. It's all generated (often quite naively) by the object
relational mapper. Requesting "native" developers means that they want you
to understand how the DB actually behaves and to be able to generate
optimal SQL code and proper DDLs that fit the application domain correctly.

When someone, e.g., as appeared in a recent and some older
pgsql-jobs messages, says "Native Postgres", what do you suppose
that means?
Does it mean something different than just "PostgreSQL"?
Likely it means the open source product built directly from the source
code published here (or packages derived there-from). As opposed to
say AWS RDS or EnterpriseDB or various other forks of the product
available in the wild.
