Senior / Lead Backend Engineer (Python, Django & AI Agents) – Remote

Senior / Lead Backend Engineer (Python, Django & AI Agents) – Remote (Singapore / SEA) Location: Fully Remote (Singapore / Southeast Asia) | Compensation: S$102,000 – S$136,000 per annum + Stretch for Exceptional Talent Tech Stack: Python, Django, PostgreSQL, ETL Pipelines, AWS, Docker/K8s, LLM APIs & MCP Servers Own Entire Business Domains—Not Just Jira Tickets Are you a product-minded Senior Python / Django Backend Engineer who wants to build at 1000x velocity using AI coding agents and LLM workflows?

Are you tired of corporate silos and ready to own entire product domains from customer ideation to production? SearchElect is partnering exclusively with a fast-growing, profitable, and self-sustaining UK-headquartered B2B FinTech & Business Intelligence SaaS scale-up.

Founded by a veteran enterprise CFO, the platform seamlessly integrates disparate accounting (Xero, QuickBooks) and CRM systems to automate complex revenue recognition, month-end close, and CFO forecasting for high-growth SaaS businesses ($2M–$20M ARR).

With nearly 250 paying B2B customers and over £1M ARR, the company is entering its next major phase: embedding autonomous AI Agent workflows onto its core Python/Django and ETL architecture to shrink week-long financial processes down to minutes.

Why This Role Stands Out End-to-End Domain Ownership: You won't just be handed tickets.

You will act as a "mini-Product Manager" and Lead Architect (60–70% engineering, 30–40% product/architecture)—owning complete business domains such as Revenue Recognition, CRM-to-Finance ETL pipelines, Forecasting Engines, or Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.

AI-Native Engineering Culture: Leverage state-of-the-art coding agents (Claude Code), loop engineering, and multi-agent swarms with guardrails to accelerate development and focus on high-level system design and business logic.

Lead Track & Direct CTO Mentorship: Report directly to the CTO (currently based in Southeast Asia) to take over core backend workstreams, wit
