SOC 2139 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £52,300, and Kallidus 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, Focus on cloud infrastructure and platform engineering) or SOC 2132 (IT managers, Reports to Head of Infrastructure, platform ownership). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
