This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2133 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,900, and Templeton & Partners - Innovative & Inclusive Hiring Solutions 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 ELT, pipeline and platform engineering could be software development) or SOC 2139 (Information technology professionals not elsewhere classified., Cloud data platform and DevOps tooling could fit IT professionals n.e.c.). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
