SOC 2133 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,900, and Bounteous 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 2134 (Programmers and software development professionals, If hands-on development is the main focus over architecture). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
