SOC 2134 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,700, and Tata 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 2133 (IT business analysts, architects and systems designers, If the role focuses on system design rather than hands-on software development). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
