About the role

Role Overview

As an AI Testing & Delivery Automation Engineer (senior, hands-on AI-Driven Testing & Delivery Lead) at Branch, you will define and scale how testing is performed across the organization. This role is about enabling engineering teams to own reliable automated tests, while you provide the frameworks, tools, and standards to make that possible. You will also lead the adoption of AI-assisted testing to accelerate creation, debugging, and maintenance.

Responsibilities

Own and design the end-to-end testing approach, including:
- testing standards, coverage, and guardrails (what gets tested, where: API/service/UI, and how it is executed)
Shape the testing stack end-to-end by selecting and evolving tools (e.g., Playwright, Karate, Pact, Postman) to fit Branch’s systems
Define processes for creating, reviewing, executing, and maintaining test cases/scripts with Engineering and Product
Drive adoption of AI-assisted testing (e.g., Claude Code, Windsurf, Copilot) for:
- generating test cases and scripts
- debugging and maintenance
- reducing manual effort at scale
Work hands-on with teams to onboard and bootstrap test ownership (initial tests + enabling teams to continue independently)
Build and maintain a scalable regression and smoke testing strategy (test library, reliability, ongoing maintenance)
Integrate testing into CI/CD pipelines, including execution guardrails and deployment gating
Partner with Engineering and Infrastructure to improve test environments, data, and stability
Improve test reliability, reduce flakiness, and establish processes for test results and debugging
Define and track testing metrics (coverage, reliability, execution, failures) to guide improvements
Act as the central coordinator/champion to drive testing standards adoption across Engineering and Product

Requirements

7+ years experience in software engineering, test automation, or quality engineering
Strong hands-on experience with test automation across multiple layers (API, service, UI)
Experience building and scaling test frameworks and automated testing infrastructure

Nice-to-haves

Experience leading AI-assisted testing adoption and using AI tools for test generation/debugging/maintenance
Demonstrated ability to align multiple teams and drive adoption of engineering standards
