SOC 2134 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,700, and Harvey Nash 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 2137 (IT network professionals, Linux infrastructure and network deployment focus could fit IT network professionals) or SOC 3132 (IT user support technicians, Support and troubleshooting of AI systems resembles IT user support). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.

This role would suit a recent graduate or someone early in their career with a strong interest in things like building computers, Linux, infrastructure and emerging AI technologies. You'll need to be highly adaptable, eager to learn and comfortable travelling frequently across the UK and occasionally internationally to support deployments.
We're looking for an AI Deployment Engineer to join a small, highly collaborative team responsible for building, deploying and supporting advanced AI software platforms. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone early in their career who wants hands-on exposure to AI, Linux systems, infrastructure, deployments and customer-facing technology projects.
This isn't a traditional support role. You'll be involved in everything from lab environments and hardware installations through to live deployments, troubleshooting and supporting AI systems in operational settings.
What you'll be doing
- Supporting the deployment of AI software platforms across the UK and internationally
- Working with Linux-based environments and infrastructure
- Assisting with build, deployment and release activities
- Installing and configuring hardware, servers and high-performance computing equipment
- Supporting customer pilots, demonstrations and proof-of-concepts
- Troubleshooting software, infrastructure and deployment issues
- Working closely with Engineering, QA and Product teams
- Travelling at short notice when required to support operational deployments
What we're looking for
- Commercial or practical experience working with Linux
- Understanding of software engineering, infrastructure or deployment pipelines
The opportunity
This role would suit somebody who wants to accelerate their career by gaining exposure to AI products, software engineering, deployments, infrastructure and customer environments in a fast-moving commercial setting. You'll gain experience that would typically take years to acquire in a larger organisation.
Package
- £50,000-£60,000 salary
- 12-month fixed-term contract
- Strong possibility of extension or permanent conversion
