This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2136 (88% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Hexaware 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 3115 (Quality assurance technicians, Title 'Quality Engineer' matches index entry, but description is software testing) or SOC 2132 (IT managers, Technical leadership without people management, but main work is testing). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
