Austin, Texas Hybrid Employment

Partly is hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer

Responsibilities

  • You’ll embed with customers in your local market, onsite where needed, to deeply understand their workflows, constraints, and what “success” looks like in the real world.
  • You’ll lead technical discovery, solution design, and delivery for high-impact customer deployments: integrations, data onboarding, workflow configuration, and new product capabilities required to unlock value.
  • You’ll build and ship production code that extends Partly’s core SaaS + API platform often in tight feedback loops with users without compromising reliability, security, or maintainability.
  • You’ll connect the dots between customer needs and our product/engineering roadmap: translate ambiguous problems into clear requirements, scoped milestones, and measurable outcomes.
  • You’ll be the hands-on technical owner for deployments post-launch: troubleshoot live issues, improve observability, harden edge cases, and drive continuous improvement.
  • You’ll become an expert in the complex (and messy) auto parts domain and help customers modernise how they source, identify, and transact parts.

Requirements

  • 3+ years building and shipping complex software in production environments.
  • Strong customer empathy and product thinking: you can turn real-world workflows into pragmatic solutions.
  • Comfortable owning the full lifecycle: discovery → design → build → deploy → operate → iterate.
  • Strong foundations in engineering fundamentals: APIs, testing, system design, data structures, and debugging.
  • Ability to work across boundaries: you can collaborate with customer IT teams, ops teams, and internal product/engineering stakeholders with clear written + verbal communication.
  • Experience integrating with external systems (APIs, webhooks, EDI/FTP/file feeds, SSO) and dealing with imperfect data.
  • Able to operate in ambiguous environments and make good tradeoffs quickly (time-to-value vs long-term maintainability).

Nice to Have

  • Experience in forward-deployed / solutions engineering / technical consulting / implementation roles.
  • Experience with automotive parts, repairer/supplier workflows, or adjacent B2B marketplaces.
  • Experience with Rust (or strong interest in learning it).

Benefits

  • Healthy, Catered Lunches
  • Healthy Body, Healthy Mind
  • Family Comes First
  • Getting Here Is On Us
  • Workspaces That Inspire
  • Office-First with Flexibility
  • We Celebrate Together

Additional Information

  • If you are based outside of a Hub, we will fly you to the nearest Hub for 1 week per quarter for our “Season Openers” (we pay for your travel and accommodation).
