Decision rule

The scan first evaluated role fit, then required the company to pass practical checks for current posting status, financial condition, employment conditions, welfare, and culture. A role was not promoted to Apply now merely because its technology keywords matched.

Role fit used the job-description-analyzer weighting:

Role fit = required-qualification coverage × 0.70
         + preferred-qualification coverage × 0.30

The percentage is an evidence-coverage estimate, not a hiring probability.

Next Securities / Data Platform EngineerKafka, Flink, Databricks, and streaming CDC are core requirements
Humanon / Data EngineerFormal DW/data-mart and Java/Spring experience are required
Concentrix / Data EngineerGCP, BigQuery, and DW/client-service delivery are central to the role
