SOC 2421 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £49,200, and Prolific is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 3533 (Financial and accounting technicians, Accounting technician work if tasks are more administrative than professional) or SOC 2133 (IT business analysts, architects and systems designers, AI training/evaluation tasks could be seen as IT business analysis). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
New graduate or PhD holder? Pick one of the lower rates.
