Role
Who you are
- A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, Statistics, Math (or equivalent experience)
- Experience with data pipelines, BI tools, or analytics platforms
- A product mindset — you think deeply about customer needs, value, and usability
- Hands-on technical skills to design, build, and iterate on dashboards/reports (engineering + analytics blend)
- Ability to communicate clearly in both technical and business terms
- A bias towards action — you’re comfortable figuring things out, talking to customers, and delivering results quickly
- Please 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. Please allow us to learn more about you and why you're exceptional!
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Product Engineer who can bridge the gap between product thinking and hands-on engineering
- This role is perfect for someone who thinks like a customer, deeply understands their workflows, and can then translate that into dashboards, reports, and insights that provide real business value
- You’ll own the end-to-end process: speaking with customers, defining what matters, building dashboards, and iterating quickly to deliver tools people love and are willing to pay for
- Engage with customers directly — observe, interview, and learn how they use reports and dashboards
- Define clear, well-scoped reporting needs, including the business actions and insights each report should enable
- Build and ship high-quality dashboards/reports that solve real customer problems
- Write product details: descriptions, use cases, business actions, and case studies
- Estimate pricing/value for reports (e.g. $99/month for X report) and feed into go-to-market
- Collaborate cross-functionally to embed free reports in the product experience (e.g. MFE)

Our take
Partly is a fast-growing tech company that's quietly tackling one of the biggest headaches in the car industry - finding the right auto parts. In a world where nearly everything is becoming digital and automated, the car parts world has lagged behind. Partly wants to change that, and is building the behind-the-scenes AI infrastructure that connects the global auto supply chain.
Instead of being a marketplace itself, Partly powers marketplaces like eBay and Shopify with accurate data. Think of it as the "AWS of auto parts" - it doesn't sell parts but makes it easier for others to do so. And it manages a massive database of over 50M parts, and even offers modular tools so businesses have the flexibility to build their own systems without starting from scratch.
In 2024, the company was named New Zealand's fastest-growing startup, and CEO Levi Fawcett took home top honours at the New Zealand Leadership Awards. It's no surprise either, with the company raising the country's largest-ever Series A ($36M) and having been on the up ever since. With big-name investors, a growing team, and a product solving a real global problem, Partly is very much on its way to becoming a tech giant.
