This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2133 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,900, and Tata Technologies 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 2132 (IT managers, If managing the Jira team is the main duty) or SOC 2134 (Programmers and software development professionals, If custom scripting/automation is the primary focus). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.

Not necessarily. Tata Technologies holds a sponsor licence, but sponsorship for a specific hire is always the employer's decision. Be upfront in your application that you'll require it.
