About Codat Codat is an advisory intelligence solution purpose-built for modern commercial banking. Through rich, specialized data, forward-looking insights, and integrated workflows, Codat empowers banking teams to deepen their relationships, grow their revenue, and simplify their day-to-day work. Founded in 2017 and backed by JPMorgan, PayPal, Amex, Plaid, and Shopify, Codat has successfully powered over 350,000 connections to business customers’ financial systems — and is trusted by industry leaders to turn scattered information into actionable, strategic advantages in real time, every time. We're looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join our Data and Insights team. You'll be hands-on every day, writing production code, building and maintaining data pipelines, and shipping features that turn raw data into intelligence our clients can act on. You'll work across the full project lifecycle, from understanding the problem through to delivery, and you'll care as much about code quality and operational reliability as you do about getting things shipped. This is also a technical leadership role. As a senior member of the team, you'll set and lead the technical direction of our Insights platform. This is a visible position within engineering and across the wider business, so you'll explain your thinking clearly, share the reasoning behind it, and bring people with you. You'll do all of this while staying close to the code: it'll suit you if you want to keep building hands-on, rather than move into pure architecture or people management in the near term. Write production code every day, most likely in Python, building and maintaining the data pipelines that power our Insights products. Own the full lifecycle of your projects, from understanding the data domain through to pragmatic design, shipping, and keeping things running reliably in production. Set and lead the technical direction of the Insights platform, and communicate it openly across engineering and the wider business, so product and commercial colleagues understand the choices you are making and why. Help raise engineering standards across the team and improve technical quality through strong engineering practice, including testing, observability, data quality checks, and clean, maintainable code. Make AI your default way of working, and find opportunities to apply it across our products and pipelines where it delivers real value, from research and prototyping through to more operational uses such as agents that help diagnose and fix pipeline issues. Help lay the foundations for our emerging MCP and semantic layer, so our data becomes something both people and AI systems can query and reason over. Strong software engineering fundamentals: you write well-tested, production-ready Python and care about maintainability, observability, and operational excellence. A track record of building data pipelines and production systems from the ground up, rather than mainly configuring managed services or wiring off-the-shelf tools together. You can describe complex logic you've written and the engineering problems you had to solve. Solid experience with modern data engineering tools and patterns, with real depth in several of SQL, Spark, Databricks/Delta Lake, orchestration tools (Dagster, Airflow, Temporal), and dbt. Comfort with modern deployment practices: CI/CD, containerisation (Docker), and cloud-based infrastructure. It's a bonus if you've shaped these for a team, not only worked within them. A product mindset: you want to understand the business domain and use that understanding to shape what gets built, not only how. You're comfortable pushing back or proposing a different approach when your read of the data and the domain calls for it. Strong communication skills: you can explain and build support for your ideas with peers, managers, and non-technical stakeholders, and you're comfortable holding a visible technical position and bringing people with you. AI as a default part of how you work, with evidence of real efficiency gains and creative use beyond code generation, such as research, building domain knowledge, or prototyping. Nice to have: exposure to the building blocks of AI-ready data, such as semantic layers, ontologies, or text-to-SQL, plus any experience applying AI operationally within data platforms or pipelines. This won't be your main focus, but it will help as our platform grows to support an MCP. Please note, this role is remote - UK only and we cannot provide sponsorship for this position. Anyone not based in the UK or that requires sponsorship to work in the UK will not be considered at this time.

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've 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 and commercially supported by major financial institutions, we're scaling quickly as adoption of AI in financial services accelerates. Our Wealth platform helps financial advice firms transform how advisers and paraplanners work, using AI to automate documentation, improve compliance and streamline client servicing. From meeting summaries and document generation to compliance file checking and workflow automation, we're helping firms deliver a better experience for both advisers and their clients. We're looking for a Product Manager – Wealth to lead the evolution of Aveni Assist, our flagship AI-powered platform for financial advice firms. The role This role is responsible for the strategy, roadmap and delivery of Aveni Assist, driving its continued evolution across core adviser workflows including meeting summaries, document generation, Letters of Authority, fact finds and compliance file checking. Unlike an early-stage product, Aveni Assist already has an established customer base and a strong market presence. Your focus will be on scaling the product through continuous improvement—enhancing customer workflows, increasing adoption and satisfaction, and delivering measurable value that drives retention and growth. This is a hands-on, high-ownership product role. You'll work closely with the Head of Product (Wealth) on product strategy while independently leading customer discovery, roadmap prioritisation, delivery and release planning. You'll collaborate with Engineering, Design, Customer Success and Commercial teams to ensure we're solving the right problems and delivering the highest-value outcomes. We're looking for someone who enjoys understanding complex customer needs, making evidence-based decisions and building products that customers genuinely value. What you'll be doing You'll own the Aveni Assist roadmap end-to-end, balancing investment between new capabilities, product quality and platform improvements to maximise customer and commercial impact. You'll lead continuous discovery with advisers, paraplanners, compliance teams and prospects, building a deep understanding of customer workflows and translating insight into product decisions. You'll rapidly validate ideas using prototypes, customer research and experimentation, reducing delivery risk before committing engineering effort. You'll own beta programmes for new capabilities, working closely with customers to gather structured feedback and determine when features are ready for general release. You'll partner closely with Engineering and Design to translate strategy into clear delivery plans, maintaining a healthy backlog and ensuring features are released with a high standard of quality. You'll build strong relationships across Engineering, Customer Success, Commercial and Marketing, acting as a trusted voice for the product and ensuring customer insight informs decision-making across the business. You'll use customer feedback, usage analytics and product metrics to guide prioritisation, measure success and continually improve the product. You'll stay informed about industry trends, adviser technology, AI developments and FCA regulation, ensuring Aveni Assist continues to lead the market. What we're looking for We're looking for someone with a proven track record as a Product Manager in a B2B SaaS environment, ideally with experience scaling an established product by improving customer satisfaction, adoption and retention. You'll have demonstrable experience leading customer discovery, translating customer insight into product decisions and working closely with Engineering and Design to deliver high-quality software. You'll have excellent product judgement, strong communication skills and the confidence to make difficult prioritisation decisions, balancing customer needs with commercial objectives. You'll be analytically rigorous, comfortable using both qualitative and quantitative data to inform decisions, and capable of building trusted relationships across technical and commercial teams. We're particularly interested in people who are proactive, self-directed and passionate about improving products through continuous iteration and customer feedback. Nice to have Experience with AI-powered products or machine learning technologies would be valuable, as would experience within financial services, wealth management or other regulated industries. Knowledge of FCA Consumer Duty, adviser technology platforms or wealth management workflows would be advantageous, but isn't essential. Experience running beta programmes, defining quality standards for AI-generated outputs or contributing to go-to-market activities would also be beneficial. Why join Aveni? You’ll work on genuinely difficult and meaningful problems at the intersection of AI, regulation and financial services. You’ll help shape a product category that is becoming increasingly important as financial institutions move from experimenting with AI to deploying it safely, responsibly and at scale. You’ll have real ownership, visibility and the opportunity to influence both product direction and market positioning at an important stage of Aveni’s growth. Benefits at Aveni What you’ll love: Remote-first working across the UK Company-wide offsites and regular in-person gatherings Work abroad policy Optional Personal Development Plan Flexible benefits platform, so you can choose the benefits that matter most to you Life insurance, income protection, critical illness cover and pension, with up to 5% matched employer contribution Private health and dental care At Aveni, we believe diversity drives innovation. We’ve built our business to ensure an inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute their best work. If you’re passionate about technology and its ability to drive positive change for the future of financial services, we’d love to hear from you. Even if you don’t meet 100% of the requirements, we’d still encourage you to apply if you believe you’d be a great fit.

Location: Uxbridge, England Teledyne Technologies Incorporated provides enabling technologies for industrial growth markets that require advanced technology and high reliability. These markets include aerospace and defense, factory automation, air and water quality environmental monitoring, electronics design and development, oceanographic research, deepwater oil and gas exploration and production, medical imaging and pharmaceutical research. We are looking for individuals who thrive on making an impact and want the excitement of being on a team that wins. Location: Uxbridge, West London, 4 days onsite, 1 day from home Every commercial flight records thousands of parameters — control inputs, engine performance, altitude, warnings. When the aircraft lands, that data has to be retrieved, decoded and turned into something an airline's safety team can act on. We build the software that does it. Over 300 airlines use our ground systems, including most of the world's major carriers, alongside military operators. When an airline spots an unstable approach trend before it becomes an incident, our software is usually how they found it. We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the team in Uxbridge that builds it. What you'll actually do • Design and build backend services and APIs that process large volumes of flight data, where performance and correctness genuinely matter, • Take technical ownership of a product area: make the architectural calls, and be the person the team asks about it, • Review other engineers' code and mentor two or three developers earlier in their careers, • Work with QA, product and the engineering lead across a normal Agile cycle — planning, standups, reviews, retros, • Help us modernise: we have a long-lived.NET codebase with some older Windows service components, and part of this role is bringing it forward sensibly rather than rewriting for its own sake What we need • Around 4+ years building production software commercially, • Strong C#/.NET and solid relational database skills (we use MySQL), • Comfortable working across the stack — you don't have to be a front-end specialist, but you should be able to work in TypeScript/Angular when a feature needs it, • Experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs, • Genuinely good at debugging: the ability to work out why a system is misbehaving from incomplete information, • Git and modern version control workflows Useful, but we'll teach you • Python, • AWS (EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS), • Docker and CI/CD pipelines, • Automated testing frameworks, • Aviation or aerospace domain knowledge What we offer As part of the wider Teledyne UK group, we offer our employees a range of company benefits that include: • Salary sacrifice-led pension plan that matches employee contributions up to 7%, • Employee Stock Purchase Plan, • Free life assurance cover at the value of four times basic annual salary, • Salary sacrifice Electric & Hybrid Vehicle car scheme, • 25 days holiday per annum, plus bank holidays, • Holiday purchase scheme which enables employees to purchase an additional 5 days worth of annual leave each year, • Company funded medical cash plan (MediCash) which allows eligible members to offset the cost of routine medical treatments, • Internal reward and recognition scheme linked to internal benefits platform, • Employee Assistance Programme, • Comprehensive wellbeing programme that supports employees with their physical, mental and financial health, as well as their cultural/environmental wellbeing, • Competitive employee discounts platform that provides employees with discounts with leading brands/retailers, • Cycle to Work scheme, • Enhanced family-friendly benefits and policies, • Company sick pay, • Free Onsite parking, • Career development across the wider Teledyne group — a lot of our engineers have moved between teams, sites and disciplines, • Software that matters: what you ship affects how safely aircraft are operated The commute, honestly We're onsite four days a week with one day from home. We know that rules us out for some people. But if you live anywhere in West London, Hillingdon, Buckinghamshire or along the M4/M40, this is likely the shortest commute you'll find for a role at this level — Uxbridge is the end of the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines, and there's parking. Several of our team took this job specifically to stop commuting into central London. Interview process • A Teams call with the hiring manager and site manager — informal, both ways, • An onsite session covering technical discussion and a paired programming task, plus competency-based questions with our Head of Digital Solutions, • Offer About Teledyne Controls Since 1964 we've designed and manufactured aircraft data recording and management systems, working directly with airlines and with OEMs including Airbus and Boeing. Teledyne Controls Flight Data Company in Uxbridge is our principal UK office, where we develop the ground-based software used to replay and analyse recorded flight data. Teledyne and all of our employees are committed to conducting business with the highest ethical standards. We require all employees to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, rules and regulatory orders. Our reputation for honesty, integrity and high ethics is as important to us as our reputation for making innovative sensing solutions. #J-18808-Ljbffr

We're Foundation Partners — a consultancy that exists to help ambitious companies defy the odds. 90% of startups fail. We work with the ones aiming to be in the 10%, giving them the leadership, talent and culture capability to grow faster, perform better, and deliver impact way beyond their stage. Not every fast‑growing company has the in‑house resource, experience or capacity to build a world‑class People, Culture & HR operation — but every one of them needs it if they want to scale without breaking. That's where we come in. We blend strategic thinking with hands‑on delivery, working as an extension of our clients' teams so they get the "what should we do" and the "who's actually going to do it." We support companies at every stage of that journey — from building foundations and hiring the best people, to scaling org design and people strategy, to expanding leadership internationally. We work with founders and executives who have audacious goals, bold ideas and brazen self‑belief — and we bring that same energy to how we work. We challenge thinking, raise expectations, and focus relentlessly on what actually moves the needle. We're part of Amplified, alongside Unleashed and JBM — together, the people services group supporting startups from inception to IPO. We have big plans for growth, and this super exciting, progressive role is part of that. This is a unique opportunity to lay the foundations for a career in People + Culture. You'll get under the skin of the full employee lifecycle, working across multiple clients spanning tech, eCommerce, life sciences and venture capital — no two weeks, or clients, will look the same. Expect to be on‑site with clients around 3 days a week — this is a role built for someone who wants to be in the room with the people they're supporting, not just behind a screen. You'll work directly with our partners — experienced people and business builders — on live client work. It's a role built for someone who loves building and creating, is fuelled by bringing order to ambiguity, and wants the kind of exposure that normally takes years to earn. You're likely early in your People + Culture career, or a couple of years into consulting and hungry for more client exposure — or you might be moving across from a different but related field. What matters most is how you operate: a strong communicator who's comfortable in a room with senior executives and founders, a project management wizard who can bring people along on the journey rather than just chase deadlines, and someone who thrives on variety and is excellent at organising themselves across it. We move fast and we're growing faster. That means real progression and real ownership, with plenty of opportunity to move into roles with more client exposure as you develop. • Developing People and Culture materials that bring new frameworks to life for our clients — from setting up a Notion site and team playbook, to designing new starter materials, to a vision and purpose launch deck for a team All Hands, • Managing people ops, including benefits administration, memberships, onboarding, sick leave and employee contracts — comfortable getting hands‑on in an HRIS, and curious enough to figure one out fast if it's new to you, • Project managing client workstreams end‑to‑end — keeping timelines, priorities and stakeholders on track, and bringing people along with clear, confident communication rather than just chasing tasks to done, • Research and information gathering to support client work, • Talent, including recruitment process support and light‑touch sourcing, • Running user testing on new solutions and making changes based on feedback Across all of it, we're looking for someone who thinks a step ahead — spotting what's likely to break before it does, fixing what you can yourself, and knowing exactly when to flag something up rather than sit on it. We're committed to building a team with diverse experiences, so as long as most of these needs are met, please apply even if you don't tick every box. • Experience in a people team, business operations team or consulting in a scaling environment, with exposure across the full people and talent employee cycle — from sourcing to onboarding to performance, • A strong communicator, in writing and in person — you're just as comfortable presenting to a founder or exec as you are writing a clear, concise update, • Project management instincts — you can structure a piece of work, keep it moving, and bring stakeholders with you rather than working in a silo, • Structured thinker — you're able to take complex concepts and turn them into clear content, • Data analysis skills — you may have studied statistics, financial modelling or similar and be comfortable working with large datasets (e.g. in Excel), • Comfortable in an HRIS, or genuinely curious to learn one fast if you haven't used one before, • Familiarity with tools and systems used in tech start‑up environments such as G‑Suite, Miro, Notion, etc, • Visual communication and some visual design skills — helpful if you can work across G‑Suite, Miro and Figma, • Extremely organised — you're working across multiple clients at once and have a strong system (yours, not ours) for keeping every plate spinning, • Thinks one step ahead — you anticipate what's coming, not just what's in front of you, • A self‑starter who tries to solve problems on your own before raising them, but knows exactly when something needs to be escalated rather than quietly worked around, • Curious, with a genuine drive to fix things before they break — you don't wait for something to go wrong to go looking for it, • Ships at a high standard, quickly — you know the difference between shipping something well and over‑architecting something that didn't need it, • A true generalist — you manage variety beautifully, developing a broad skillset and staying comfortable context‑switching across different workstreams, • Collaborative and communicative — you'll work closely with the partners to create work for our clients, • Focused on speedy impact — you don't just pick up a brief, you help shape it, working at pace to deliver against it, • £40,000 - £50,000 per annum, • 25 days holiday, • 4 weeks work from abroad policy, • £600 annually to spend via our benefits platform, • Monthly lunches at our group‑wide All Hands — a chance to properly connect with everyone across Amplified, not just your immediate team, • Bi‑annual socials where we celebrate our wins and each other, • A front‑row seat to learn from some of the best experts across people, culture and talent — this is a team that will genuinely accelerate your career, not just your CV The old model for People & Talent doesn’t work for today's businesses. We've built a better one. Traditionally, early‑stage Founders had two options: handle People & Talent themselves, losing precious time they should be spending on product or go‑to‑market, or hire a generalist, expected to cover everything from culture to recruitment to performance. We offer a more impactful alternative: A fully flexible, fractional People & Talent team with specialist skillsets and hands‑on delivery, ready to start driving impact for your business in weeks, not months. #J-18808-Ljbffr
