Interestingly, the job application seems to have been modified since this snippet began to make the rounds. Literally, the whole line has just been yanked from the listing. But, as you will know, the Internet keeps a receipt of everything.

Now, it's possible this was nothing more than PR-like speak or just an attempt to make the listing as compelling as possible to applicants. So, there may be nothing to this. In fact, Sony removing it from the listing suggests maybe it's not actually confident the system is the fastest console in the world. Alas, unfortunately, all we can do is speculate.
That said, the idea that the PS5 is the fastest console in the world wouldn't be very surprising, as developers and industry insiders have suggested this is the case in the past. For example, back in June former IGN journalist Colin Moriarty -- who has a long and decorated history of reporting on PlayStation specifically -- noted that he heard not only was the PS5 more powerful than Xbox Scarlett, but definitively more powerful.
Of course, there's a good chance both consoles will be largely indistinguishable from each other. However, as you may know, the PS4 was slightly more powerful than the Xbox One at launch, so it's possible Sony is looking to position the PS5 in a similar manner.
