This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2139 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £52,300, and OPTICORE IT LTD 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 2133 (IT business analysts, architects and systems designers, Cloud engineer/architect role designing GCP landing zone infrastructure). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
