SOC 2133 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,900, and NEBIUS 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 1137 (Information technology directors, If the role were primarily directing IT infrastructure/services rather than leading solutions architects.) or SOC 2132 (IT managers, If the role were managing IT service provision rather than customer-facing solutions architecture.). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
New graduate or PhD holder? Pick one of the lower rates.
