This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3113 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £42,500, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) 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 2123 (Electrical engineers, Professional electrical engineering work on power systems and commissioning) or SOC 2129 (Engineering professionals not elsewhere classified., Professional engineering n.e.c. if degree-level design work dominates). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
