Aveni is redefining how financial institutions use AI. We build real, production-ready agentic systems that reshape how banks, advisers and financial services firms operate, replacing fragmented processes with intelligent, end-to-end workflows.
We have been recognised as Fintech of the Year for two consecutive years and awarded Best Specialist Technology Service at the Professional Adviser Awards 2025. Backed by leading investors including Puma Private Equity, and commercially supported by Lloyds Banking Group and Nationwide Building Society, we previously completed one of Scotland’s largest Series A rounds. Since then, we’ve continued to grow rapidly as adoption of AI in financial services accelerates, and we’re now scaling our engineering organisation to meet that demand.
Our engineering team includes experienced software engineers and PhD-level AI specialists, with strong ties to the University of Edinburgh, giving you access to exceptional expertise and opportunities for continuous learning as part of the day-to-day work.
As a Software Engineer at Aveni, you’ll be responsible for building and scaling the products that sit on top of FinLLM (the UK's first LLM for the Financial Services industry) and other LLMs, enabling financial institutions to adopt AI safely and effectively.
You won’t be expected to build or train the LLMs themselves, instead you’ll be engineering the platforms, services, user interfaces and integrations that bring those models to life in the hands of advisers, analysts and banking teams.
Your work will focus on:
What you’ll be working with
You should be comfortable with most of our core technologies:
We also actively embrace AI coding assistants (such as Claude Code) to speed up development, improve code quality and reduce repetitive work — and we encourage engineers to use these tools effectively.
