Job description
Note: Partly is headquartered in Austin, TX with offices in London, UK, Christchurch, NZ and Auckland, NZ. Wherever you're based, we'll connect you with your nearest office for onboarding, and fly you to join the full team for our quarterly "Season Openers" (we cover travel and accommodation). If you're relocating to join us, we can also assist with relocation costs.
🚀 Our Story Partly is building the infrastructure for anyone to repair anything. We believe everything built should be repairable, and we're building frontier AI to put repair knowledge to work, starting with the $2tn automotive market. Our model, Interpreter, is the first AI purpose-built to understand repair. Trained on 1M+ car models and 1B+ parts, it reads a repair job the way an estimator does, resolves damage into the exact purchasable part, and shows its reasoning with a confidence score. On real production jobs, an estimator working with Interpreter reaches 98.8% parts-list accuracy, against 92.1% with today's tools. It powers PartlyRepair, used by collision shops, workshops and suppliers to take the admin off the job; PartlyLabs, the agentic infrastructure enterprises use to deploy Interpreter across their own workflows; and a developer API. Founded by ex-Rocket Lab engineers, we've raised a $50m Series B led by DST Global (Anthropic, Airbnb, Meta, TikTok, Spotify), with Blackbird Ventures, WNDR, Activant Capital, Icehouse Ventures, Square Peg, Airtree and Ecliptic Venture Capital. Hear it from the team: Why Partly exists and AI at Partly. We're always keen to meet talented people who want to help connect the world's parts. If you don't see a role that fits but think you'd be a great addition to the team, get in touch and tell us how you could contribute.
Why work at Partly
- Culture & Values: Office-first, remote-second hybrid model. Values include "Buyer Obsession," "No. 8 Wire Mentality" (kiwi ingenuity), "Think 10X," "Bias for Action," "Earn Trust," and "Reason from First Principles." High transparency with weekly CEO updates and all-hands.

- Visa Support: Accredited Employer Visa available for New Zealand roles.
- Engineering Culture: Strong engineering pedigree (Rocket Lab, F1, Microsoft, Apple). Emphasis on first principles thinking and solving hard technical problems.
