SOC 2131 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £58,200, and Amazon 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, Programme manager (computing/IT) if role is more senior programme-level) or SOC 2132 (IT managers, IT manager if focus is managing IT services provision). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
Want to turn cutting-edge generative AI into experiences that reach customers at massive scale — and see your work ship, not sit in a research paper? Our team builds and operates the production platform that takes state-of-the-art generative models all the way to real, customer-facing products, and we're hiring a Senior Technical Program Manager to help push the state of the art.
We own the systems that turn advanced models into high-quality, delightful output for customers. Our platform spans both real-time, low-latency generation — results in a customer's hands within seconds — and large-scale offline pipelines that produce content at massive volume.
Real customer impact — what we build ships directly to customers today.
Cutting-edge AI — large generative models served on GPU fleets, plus large language models that analyze and enrich content before it's generated.
Serious engineering breadth — low-latency streaming services, GPU model inference, and large-scale distributed batch processing, all on AWS (ECS, Step Functions, Lambda, S3).
A roadmap you'll help shape — expanding into new capabilities, new languages, and richer, more controllable generation.
