SOC 2133 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,900, and GIOS Technology 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, Heavy software engineering focus on pipelines, ETL frameworks and CI/CD). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
