Software Engineer (AI & Automation)
About the Role
West Summit is a UK-based systems and automation advisory. We help operations-heavy SMBs (trades/field services, property agencies, professional services) and SAP-running mid-market firms eliminate manual backlogs. We deliver enterprise-grade automation through our flagship product: the 3-Week Operations Sprint—building sandboxed workflow pipelines (n8n, Python, PostgreSQL, Docker, LLM APIs) with built-in Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) exception queues.
We are looking for a Software Engineer to build, test, and deploy these automation pipelines. You will take process maps and turn them into running sandboxes, connect APIs, write custom data-extraction scripts, and build simple, reliable interfaces for client approvals.
