SOC 2433 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £55,100, and Bank of America 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 2134 (Programmers and software development professionals, Role involves building Python platform and software components) or SOC 2422 (Finance and investment analysts and advisers, Role supports trading desk and investible index products). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
