This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2136 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Expleo Group 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 2129 (Engineering professionals not elsewhere classified., Engineering n.e.c. if testing is more hardware than software focused). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
