SOC 2134 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,700, and Leonardo UK Ltd 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 2137 (IT network professionals, Linux systems engineer title and networking focus could fit network professionals) or SOC 2135 (Cyber security professionals, Security focus on endpoint solutions and PKI could fit cyber security). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
