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.\nOur Story\nPartly 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.\nOur 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.\nFounded 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.\nNote: Partly is headquartered in the UK, with a Product and Engineering base in Christchurch, and an early presence in San Francisco. If you are not based in Christchurch, we will fly you to HQ for 2 weeks for onboarding, as well as 1 week per quarter for our “Season Openers” (we pay for your travel and accommodation). If you are relocating to Christchurch from NZ or from overseas, we can also assist with relocation costs.\nOur story\nPartly's mission is to connect the world's parts and we're doing that by building the first global platform for replacement parts, starting with auto parts. Our big vision is to accelerate the world toward a sustainable future where anyone can fix anything.\nFounded by ex-Rocket Lab engineers, we utilise cutting-edge technology to solve challenging but exciting problems that make a huge impact in a $1.9 trillion industry. We've more than tripled our team over the last 12 months and expect to double in size again over the coming 12 months. We're a global team spanning both Europe and Australasia.\nWe provide a scalable digital infrastructure solution to some of the world's largest businesses and the most exciting startups. Partly's solutions are integrated across hundreds of companies globally, providing the backbone for cataloguing and managing parts online.\nOur investors in Blackbird Ventures (Canva, CultureAmp etc.), Square Peg, Octopus Ventures, Icehouse, Peter Beck (Rocket Lab), Akshay Kothari (Notion Co-Founder) and Dylan Field (Figma Co-Founder).\nWe're continuing to build a world-class team and ensuring Partly is a place where people can do the best work of their lives. We're proud of the culture we've built at Partly, and our values are lived throughout every experience.\nThis role\nSite Reliability Engineering (SRE) combines software and systems engineering to build and run large-scale, distributed systems, ensuring that both internally critical and externally visible services have the reliability, uptime, and performance appropriate to clients' needs while enabling a fast rate of improvement. SREs maintain constant awareness of system capacity and performance, ensuring our networks, platforms, and tools are scalable, secure, and reliable so engineers can focus on delivering impactful software. This senior role demands high autonomy, leadership, and strategic thinking, making it ideal for those excited by the challenge of designing and supporting the infrastructure that connects the worlds parts.\nWhat will you do\nReliability Engineering: Ensure the stability, scalability, and security of our cloud infrastructure, Partly & 3rd party applications in our Kubernetes powered clusters. Leverage Infrastructure-as-Code and automation (Terraform for GCP, GitOps with ArgoCD, Custom scripts in Python/Bash, etc.) to deploy and manage workloads and resources in a repeatable, automated way.\n\nCost Optimisation: Monitor and optimise costs across our cloud and on-prem infrastructure, ensuring we get maximum value from our investments. Make recommendations for resource allocation or architecture changes to improve cost-efficiency without sacrificing reliability or performance.\n\nCross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with developers, data engineers, and leadership to plan infrastructure needs and improvements. Provide tooling, guidance and training to the engineering team on SRE practices, and collaborate during software delivery to ensure smooth integrations from code to production.\n\nSoftware Engineering: Make sure our software meets high production readiness standards. When you see a problem or an opportunity to improve, you drive the solution.\n\nTroubleshooting: participate in incidents resolutions, give developers helping hand in debugging applications, networks, databases, compute systems.\n\nWant to learn more about the problems we're solving and the culture we're building at Partly? Hear directly from our team here: https://shorturl.at/DPDdl\nYour skills\nSoftware Engineering: You excel at developing and maintaining large, established software systems beyond simple scripts and utilities. You definitely know what makes software maintainable and you are able to write robust code.\n\nFirmly grounded computer science fundamentals: Including data structures, concurrency, architecture, APIs, testing, and design patterns.\n\nSystem engineering fundamentals: You most likely know how to deploy and use memory or stack sampling profiler, how to locate excessive lock contention, how to identify network issues, etc.\n\nSRE Expertise: Hands-on experience with modern SRE practices and tooling - for example, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), and GitOps workflows (ArgoCD or equivalent). You have designed, built, and maintained scalable infrastructure and CI/CD systems.\n\nCloud & Systems Knowledge: Deep familiarity with at least one major cloud platform and Linux operating system. You can tune servers, manage databases/storage, and wrangle Kubernetes clusters.\n\nOwnership & Leadership: High degree of ownership and bias for action, with a proactive approach to solving problems. You take initiative and don’t wait to be told what to do. You have demonstrated leadership through mentoring junior engineers or leading small teams/projects, even if not formally a manager. We’re seeking a track record of ownership over critical systems and successful delivery of complex projects.\n\nCollaboration & Communication: Excellent communication skills (written and verbal) and a collaborative attitude. You can work across teams and departments - from explaining technical issues to non-technical colleagues, to coordinating with engineers on deployments. You value teamwork and knowledge sharing.\n\nAdaptability: Willingness to wear multiple hats and adapt to evolving needs. In a fast-growing startup environment, requirements can change - you’re excited by the chance to learn new skills, take on new challenges, and grow with the role.\n\nBonus Points:\nExperience in a high-growth startup environment, which means you’re used to the pace and ambiguity.\n\nAny prior experience maintaining security compliance and certifications in a company is a plus.\n\nIf you have used specific tools we use (GCP, ArgoCD, GitLab CI, Kafka, etc.), that’s great - if not, you can learn quickly.\n\nIf you have significant experience running production workloads over Apache Cassandra and / or Postgres database\n\nIf you developed software in Rust programming language and can mentor other developers on the best practices in Rust.\n\nPlease note: if you don't have all the skills/experience listed above but believe you could be outstanding in this role, please still consider applying. Many folks, especially those from underrepresented or marginalised groups, often count themselves out.
