Agentic Engineer (technical lead)

Autotelica is building a platform that enables developers at a large UK energy company to use AI coding agents under the company's standards. The Agentic Engineer (technical lead) will own the platform's core, lead the engineering squad, oversee agent integrations and compliance controls, and work directly with the client engineering teams.

Responsibilities:

• Own the context and hooks design: session start, pre- and post-tool-use, commit time, pull request
• Port the hooks from Claude Code to GitHub Copilot, then to other agent harnesses
• Build and run the pull-request gate and the evidence record that ships with every change
• Keep the rule checks honest: deterministic where a regex will do, LLM-judged against a rubric where it won't, and handed to a named human where neither can decide
• Own security and standards compliance of the platform itself: threat model, pen-test fixes, secrets handling
• Sit with the client's engineering teams, answer their questions, and turn what you hear into backlog items
• Review the squad's code and set its engineering standards
