We’re building the AI foundation to transform the $7 trillion global replacement parts industry.
It's one of the most essential industries on earth, yet buying parts still happens through phone calls and manual processes. Inefficiency at this scale compounds into enormous costs for businesses, consumers, and the environment.
For decades, the industry accepted this as the status quo. AI is changing that.
AI's next frontier is in the physical world
AI is the most significant technology shift in a generation, and it’s entering industries where things get made, moved, and fixed. Buying parts remains the hardest problem in that world: complex data, high cost for error, and too industry-specific for general AI.
That’s what Partly set out to solve in 2020. We've been building AI for parts, accelerating toward a future where, for the first time, AI can help anyone find the right parts. Anyone can fix anything.

You'll be joining a team of exceptionally talented and driven individuals - the brightest minds and highest performers in their respective fields. You will tackle difficult problems head-on and have the freedom to solve them.
Our values define what is truly important to us and will determine whether we’re a good fit.
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.
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.
We value ingenuity and resourcefulness. Our can-do attitude and practical problem-solving ability let us be creative in our approaches, and build with very little. We try to “figure it out” before passing work to others.
We care about the detail, rethink fundamentals, and are sceptical when data and anecdotes differ. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. We debate avidly, challenge each other vigorously, and push back.
We set huge goals, pursue excellence, and move fast to help our buyers. We aspire to be the best in the world at what we do. We avoid incremental improvements and find 10x gains. Even when things are going well, we are not satisfied.
We are right a lot, have strong judgment, and good instincts. We have a great common-sense grounding. We seek different perspectives and actively challenge our assumptions.
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.
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.
We know how valuable thoughtful, sincere feedback is. We understand healthy discussions include disagreements, even when it’s uncomfortable. Giving feedback is routine and habitual across the entire company.
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?”.
We're a global team with hubs in key locations. Join us in our London headquarters, Christchurch Engineering Hub, Auckland offices, or remotely.
