SOC 1137 (88% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £86,000, and EPAM Systems 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 1131 (Financial managers and directors, If insurance financial oversight is the main duty). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
