Sure, this smells like a job description tailor made for someone 
they already have in mind. However, I wonder what "experience" 
means. "Yeah, I've played around with Java and C++" or "I'm 
really into the two languages and know them very well". People 
who do research for their PhD in computational linguistics are 
often _familiar_ with programming languages but not necessarily 
to a degree that allows them to write real world production code, 
because it is very hard to excel in programming, data algorithms, 
NLP and academic research (literature review, writing the PhD) at 
the same time.
