This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2139 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £52,300, and Gazelle Global 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, Architecture and design of observability systems could fit systems designer) or SOC 2134 (Programmers and software development professionals, Instrumentation and scripting focus could fit platform engineer). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
