🚀 Our story ----------------
Partly is connecting the world's parts, and we're doing that by building the AI infrastructure layer for the global repair industry, starting with the $2tn automotive market. Our frontier model, Interpreter, is the world's first AI purpose-built to understand vehicle damage and the parts needed to fix it. Thousands of businesses across the global repair supply chain already rely on it.
Founded by ex-Rocket Lab engineers, we've tripled in size in the last 18 months and have recently raised a $50m Series B led by DST Global (Anthropic, Airbnb, Meta, TikTok, Spotify) and including Blackbird Ventures (Canva, CultureAmp etc.), WNDR, Activant Capital, Icehouse Ventures, Square Peg, Airtree, and Ecliptic Venture Capital. We're headquartered in Austin, with offices in New Zealand and London.
We're continuing to build a world-class team ensuring Partly is a place where people can do the best work of their lives. We're proud of the culture we've built, and our values are lived throughout every experience.

🎁 Benefits -----------
- Healthy, Catered Lunches - Enjoy fresh, healthy lunches every workday in our Auckland, Christchurch, London, and Austin offices. With no meal prep needed, you can eat, connect, and refuel with your team. (And yes, snacks and drinks are always on hand.)
- Healthy Body, Healthy Mind - We care about performing at our peak. Every team member gets a $1,000 annual wellness allowance (or local equivalent) on a Partly-branded card, provided through Airwallex. Use it on things such as gym memberships, rock climbing, physical therapy, massage, doctor visits, prescriptions—anything that you or your family need!
- Family Comes First - Primary caregivers receive 3 months of fully paid parental leave, plus a flexible return-to-work plan (four days a week at full pay for your first three months back).
- Health Insurance - Partly covers your health insurance through a group plan with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, plus dental and vision cover. We pay 100% of your premium and 50% for any dependents you add, including a spouse or domestic partner, with the option to upgrade to a richer plan at your own cost if you'd like.
- 401(k) Retirement Plan - Partly contributes 4% of your base salary to your 401(k) every pay period, automatically, whether or not you contribute yourself. Everything Partly contributes is yours immediately, no waiting period.
- Time Off - You'll get 20 days of paid vacation, 10 days of paid sick leave, and 11 federal holidays each year.
You can use your vacation and sick leave from day one, no waiting to accrue it first. And if you ever go into negative balance, that's fine too, we trust you to manage your own time off.

- Getting Here Is On Us - If you commute to a Partly office or coworking space (atleast 4 days a week), choose from a paid 24/7 parking spot or a commuting allowance. One less thing to think about!
- Office-First with Flexibility - In cities where we have an office (Christchurch, Auckland, London, and Austin), we default to working from the office every day. This lets us move faster, make better decisions, and build strong relationships. We also operate with a high-trust environment, so you can manage your time around your life and flex your schedule to do your best work.
- We Celebrate Together - From weekly happy hours and monthly lunches to quarterly season openers and an annual global offsite, we make time to connect, celebrate, and have fun as one team.
- Equity - You'll receive share options (ESOP) with a 4-year vesting schedule and a 1-year cliff, true ownership in Partly from day one. Your strike price is a flat $0.01 per share, and you have up to 10 years to exercise.
