This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2136 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 46% sure that is the right code. Wise Payments Limited is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 2482 (Quality assurance and regulatory professionals) or SOC 2135 (Cyber security professionals). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
