SOC 2134 (88% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,700, and Wipro 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 2139 (Information technology professionals not elsewhere classified., DevOps/CI-CD and platform focus could fit IT professionals n.e.c.). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
