Remote Automation Engineer: AI-Driven Integrations

Brook + Whittle; Kansas; On-site; USD 90,000 - 140,000; Full time

Job summary

Brook & Whittle LTD is seeking a Software Engineer to expand automation across the business, building integrations, data pipelines, and supporting services. You will own hands-on automation and collaborate with a team of C# and Angular developers.

This is a fully remote position, but candidates must be based in EST or CST time zones. There is no visa sponsorship for this role, and you will work with AI tools where appropriate while maintaining traditional integration approaches as needed.

Qualifications

• Proven experience as a backend developer.
• Familiarity with RAG concepts, chunking strategies, embedding, vector search.
• Familiarity with a vector database such as Qdrant, Pinecone, Weaviate or similar.
• Strong troubleshooting skills to diagnose and resolve integration-related issues.
• Familiarity with workflow automation tools (n8n, Zapier, Airflow, etc.) and Redis for caching, lightweight queues, and workflow state
• Experience deploying applications via Docker.
• Familiarity with maintaining cloud-based environments (Azure preferred).
• Strong grasp of version control and basic CI/CD pipelines.
• Ability to monitor system health and troubleshoot script failures in production.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.

Responsibilities

• Build automation solutions end-to-end across the business: integrations, data pipelines, workflow automation, and scripting.
• Partner with stakeholders to identify and evaluate automation opportunities, exercising judgment on when AI is the right tool versus when a traditional integration, script, or workflow change will serve better.
• Own integrations and data movement between systems, SharePoint, SQL, file shares, documents, including ingestion, transformation, and keeping downstream data fresh.
• Build AI features where they add real value: prompt design, RAG pipelines (chunking, embedding, indexing into our vector database), and LLM integrations (OpenAI, Anthropic, and others as we evaluate).
• Collaborate with our C#/.NET and Angular ERP codebase alongside the existing dev team — feature work, bug fixes, code review, the usual full-stack rhythm.
• Stand up and maintain containerized services — including self-hosted components like Qdrant for vector storage — running on our Azure platform.
• Collaborate with consultants brought in for specialized depth, and absorb knowledge from those engagements so we can reduce consulting spend over time.
• Prototype quickly to validate automation ideas before committing to full builds.
