This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2133 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,900, and Stryker 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 2139 (Information technology professionals not elsewhere classified., If seen as application management/support rather than systems design and analysis) or SOC 3571 (Human resources and industrial relations officers, If classified as HR analyst rather than IT systems analyst). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
