This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2139 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £52,300, and Machine Medicine 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 2134 (Programmers and software development professionals, Backend development with TypeScript and NestJS is core work). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
