Snapshot of Partly
Help Modernise a $2 Trillion Industry with Partly
Partly is building the foundational tech infrastructure to connect the world’s auto parts.
The global replacement parts industry is massive, but deeply broken. From quote-based ordering to CD-ROM software and disconnected supply chains, it’s an industry stuck in the past.
Partly is changing that. Their mission is to make it effortless for repairers to find the right parts, reducing waste and unlocking value across the entire supply chain. It’s a huge challenge, and a bigger opportunity.
If you’re excited by tough problems, smart people, and real-world impact, this is your kind of company.
Why Partly Is a Great Place to Work Work With the Best You’ll join a world-class team of engineers, operators, and commercial leaders from companies like Rocket Lab, Google, Airbnb, Amazon, and Microsoft. It’s a high-performing environment, built around mutual respect and trust.
Tackle Hard Problems From deep data complexity to marketplace dynamics, Partly is solving some of the gnarliest problems in software. You’ll have the freedom and responsibility to shape real solutions—fast.
Make a Massive Impact This isn’t just about speeding up parts lookup. By solving parts compatibility and accessibility at scale, Partly is reducing landfill waste, cutting emissions, and transforming how repairs happen across the globe.
Equity, Ownership, and Purpose Partly gives you true ownership, through equity and through trust. Everyone is expected to step up, think long-term, and act like a founder.
Global, With Strong Roots The team is growing fast, with offices in Christchurch (Engineering HQ), Auckland, and London, plus remote options. But the culture remains grounded, practical, and driven by the “Number 8 wire” spirit.
This is not a cushy job. It's high-impact, high-responsibility work alongside exceptional people. If that sounds like your kind of challenge, check out open roles or reach out to Partly.
Working with us
Values
Be an owner
We care deeply and are highly engaged. We take responsibility, look for solutions, and do what needs to be done. We take the initiative, don't wait for instructions and are comfortable with ambiguity. We never say, “that’s not my job", and always act in Partly’s best interest.
Bias for action
Most decisions are not one-way doors, and we value calculated risks. We have a bias toward action and delivering results. Speed is critical, and often the perfect solution delivered late actually harms our buyers.
Buyer obsession
We obsess over the buyer and work backwards. We build trust and consistently put ourselves in our buyer's shoes. As we build, we ask, “how does this impact our buyers?” and “who will care?”. When we’re debating points of view, we always ask, “How does this help the buyer?”
Earn trust
We communicate in a way that earns trust and enhances relationships. We are reliable and treat others with respect. We admit our mistakes and are sincere in our interactions.
Great judgement
We are right a lot and have strong judgment and good instincts. We have a great common-sense grounding. We seek different perspectives and actively challenge our assumptions.
Maintain a high bar
We have exceptionally high standards — many people may think these standards are unreasonably high. Every hire raises the bar, and every promotion exemplifies these standards. We are ambitious - Partly will never be described as a cushy place to work.
