This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3132 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and ABL 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, Systems design and infrastructure development elements could fit) or SOC 3131 (IT operations technicians, Day-to-day systems administration and maintenance duties overlap). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
