Full Stack Software Engineer

Overview

Provn are proud to be partnered with a global multi-strat investment firm as they hire a Full-Stack Developer to join their Ops team in Glasgow. Our client is a well-capitalised investment firm with a significant international footprint. Engineering is taken seriously here; internal tooling is built to a high standard and there's a genuine belief that great software is a competitive advantage.

In Glasgow, the team is tight-knit and cross-functional - developers sit alongside business people, which means the feedback loop is short and the context is rich. The team works closely with middle office operations both locally and globally, building the internal tooling that keeps trading workflows running and gives the business clear visibility across its markets. You'd be joining a small team, brought in specifically to strengthen the frontend capability as the team scales.

This suits a mid-senior developer with strong React fundamentals who can hold a technical conversation, engage directly with end users, and is genuinely open to growing their Java skills over time. The role is roughly 70% React to start - with the expectation it evolves toward a more balanced split as you bed in.

• Lead frontend development on internal tooling used by front office operations teams locally and globally
• Work directly with end users to understand workflows, gather feedback, and iterate on solutions
• Collaborate closely with two existing backend Java developers - reading, understanding, and contributing to Java code where needed
• Build and maintain reusable React components that bring consistency across internal applications
• Take ownership of features end-to-end, from user conversation through to live deployment
• Contribute to backend development in Java as the role naturally broadens over time
• Support integrations with external counter parties and internal data systems
• Help establish frontend standards and patterns as the team grows

• 5–8 years of commercial software engineering experience
• Strong, production-grade React and Type Script - this is where you'll spend most of your time initially
• Solid Java capability - you don't need to be a Java specialist, but you must be able to read, understand, and contribute to Java codebases
• Degree in Computer Science or a related technical discipline
• Strong engineering fundamentals - object-oriented design, solid understanding of how software works under the hood
• Clear communicator - comfortable discussing and justifying technical decisions with both developers and non-technical stakeholders
• Willing and able to work onsite in Glasgow 4 days per week

• Exposure to financial products or services - not essential, but useful context
• Experience working directly with end users or business stakeholders in an iterative development environment
• Familiarity with SQL and relational databases
• Any exposure to event-driven or integration-focused systems

• Visible, high-ownership role - your work will be used daily by the people sitting next to you
• A clear, realistic progression from frontend-focused to genuine full-stack
• Small team, real influence - you'll help shape how the frontend capability develops
• Modern, recently refurbished Glasgow city centre office, 4 days onsite
• A firm that invests in its engineering and expects quality in return

• Competitive package with bonus potential
• Modern Glasgow city centre office
