We use alternative data and machine learning to expand financial access for millions of people traditionally excluded from the formal financial system. Founded by the former CEO of Kiva.org and backed by leading investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Visa, and the IFC, Branch combines mission-driven impact with world-class technology and scale.</span></span></span></span></span></span></h2><p style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:16px;margin-bottom:16px;\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt;font-variant:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color:#000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><span style=\"font-style:normal;\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none;\">In India, Branch operates as a regulated digital lending institution and Middle Layer NBFC, building trusted and accessible financial products for millions of customers across the country. Our 250+ member India team is growing rapidly and works across technology, data science, risk, product, and operations to solve high-impact problems at scale. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:16px;margin-bottom:16px;\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt;font-variant:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color:#000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><span style=\"font-style:normal;\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none;\">Certified as a Great Place to Work in 2025, Branch offers the opportunity to build meaningful careers while shaping the future of inclusive fintech in one of the world’s fastest-growing digital economies.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br><br><span style=\"font-size:12pt;font-variant:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color:#000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight:700;\"><span style=\"font-style:normal;\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none;\">About Role:</span></span></span></span></span></span><br><span style=\"font-size:12pt;font-variant:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color:#000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><span style=\"font-style:normal;\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none;\">At Branch, quality has always been the responsibility of the engineers, product managers, and business owners who build and ship the product. We deliberately do not have a traditional QA team gating releases — we believe the accountability for what goes to production must sit with the people building it, not with a separate function checking their work.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style=\"line-height:1.656;margin-top:16px;margin-bottom:16px;\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt;font-variant:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color:#000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><span style=\"font-style:normal;\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none;\">As the Quality Platform Lead, you will build and lead a small, high-leverage team that audits production against our stated expectations — functional, behavioral, regulatory, and experiential — and reports honestly on what they find. You will not own release gates. You will not sign off on builds. Engineers and Product retain full ownership of what they ship and when. Your team's mandate is to be the independent, automation-first lens on whether what's running in production actually matches what we said we were building, and to make any drift visible to the people who can fix it.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style=\"line-height:1.656;margin-top:16px;margin-bottom:16px;\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt;font-variant:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color:#000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><span style=\"font-style:normal;\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none;\">You will architect and champion a continuous, automated quality-auditing ecosystem. Instead of acting as a release gatekeeper, this leader will build smart automation and AI-driven agents to continuously evaluate production against company standards, providing the high-fidelity feedback loops our engineering, product, and business teams need to maintain ultimate accountability.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style=\"line-height:1.656;margin-top:16px;margin-bottom:16px;\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt;font-variant:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color:#000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><span style=\"font-style:normal;\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none;\">This is a builder role. You will define the operating model from scratch, hire a small team of strong engineers, and lean heavily on automation, agents, and continuous production verification rather than manual test cycles. Success looks like a team that catches more, manually does less, and grows the organization's confidence in its own output without becoming a bottleneck to it.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br><br><span style=\"font-size:12pt;font-variant:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color:#434343;\"><span style=\"font-weight:700;\"><span style=\"font-style:normal;\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none;\">Responsibilities</span></span></span></span></span></span></p><ul><li style=\"list-style-type:disc;\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt;font-variant:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color:#000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><span style=\"font-style:normal;\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none;\">Establish charter, operating principles, success metrics, and the team itself.
