This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa

SOC 2134 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,700, and SHIELD AI 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 2133 (IT business analysts, architects and systems designers, Infrastructure/cloud engineering focus could fit IT architects). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.

Strategic tip: apply early

Sponsored roles fill quickly, and the ones that name a salary go quickest. If this one looks right, apply in the first few days rather than saving it for the weekend.

    About sponsorship for this role

    Does this job guarantee visa sponsorship?

    Not necessarily. SHIELD AI UK LTD holds a sponsor licence, but sponsorship for a specific hire is always the employer's decision. Be upfront in your application that you'll require it.

    What salary is needed for this role to be eligible?

    The offer must clear both the general threshold and the SOC 2134 going rate of £54,700. New-entrant and shortage discounts can lower it.
