SOC 2137 (88% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £45,600, and Deloitte 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 2133 (IT business analysts, architects and systems designers, Design and architecture focus on multi-cloud network platforms). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
