Job Description
Customer Solutions Architect
Partly
• 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.
Job 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).
- (Bonus) Experience in forward-deployed / solutions engineering / technical consulting / implementation roles.
- (Bonus) Experience with automotive parts, repairer/supplier workflows, or adjacent B2B marketplaces.
- (Bonus) Experience with Rust (or strong interest in learning it).
Benefits
- Healthy, Catered Lunches - Enjoy fresh, healthy lunches every workday in our Auckland, Christchurch, London and San Francisco 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 $1,500 annual wellness allowance (or local equivalent) on a Partly-branded card. Use it on things such gym memberships, rock climbing, physio, massage, GP 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 (four days on full pay for your first three months back).
- Getting Here Is On Us - If you commute to a Partly office or co-working space, choose from a paid 24/7 car park or commute allowance. One less thing to think about!
- Workspaces That Inspire - Our brand new, architecturally designed offices are built for collaboration and creativity, with great coffee, social spaces, and some of the best cafes a few steps away.
- Office-First with Flexibility - In cities where we have an office (Christchurch, Auckland, London, San Francisco), we default there every day. This let's us move faster, make better decisions and build strong relationships. We also operate with a very high trust environment, so you can manage your time around your life, and flex your schedule to get your best work done.
- 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.

Principal Forward Deployed Architect
AtlassianAtlassian is a publicly-traded computer software business specializing in collaboration, development, and issue-tracking software for teams. As an employer, Atlassian maintains a t
Role Description The Forward Deployed Architect (FDA) is a trusted transformation architect who combines enterprise-grade technical design with consulting-grade business acumen to shape how strategic customers adopt Atlassian as their operating system for work. This is not a traditional Solutions Engineer role, nor a hands-on-keyboard engineering role. The FDA is the architect in the room — the person who turns a CIO's ambiguous “modernize how we work” into a credible, phased, AI-native architecture and the business transformation plan that makes it stick across HR, Finance, Marketing, PMO, Operations, and Engineering. You will be embedded with 1–3 strategic accounts at a time, typically for 3–9 months each, owning both the technical truth and the business transformation narrative end-to-end. What You'll Do - Business Transformation & Expansion - Design the customer's System of Work across functions using Jira, Confluence, Rovo, and the broader Atlassian platform. - Lead process and workflow transformation from current state to future state, including operating model design, Center of Excellence structures, RACI, governance, and platform team design. - Expand Atlassian beyond the development buyer into HR, Finance, Marketing, PMO, Operations, and other business teams through cross-functional workflow design. - Drive AI adoption for knowledge workers through practical, workflow-based use cases embedded into daily work. - Support adoption through change management, enablement, and success metrics. - Own and evolve the System of Work blueprint based on outcomes, feedback, and usage data. - Architecture & Technical Design - Own the target-state architecture for strategic enterprise customers across the Atlassian System of Work — Plans, Goals, Work, Knowledge, Code, and AI (Rovo, Teamwork Graph, Atlassian Intelligence). - Design across the full stack: multi-tenant SaaS, identity & SSO (SAML/OIDC/SCIM), data residency, integration patterns (REST/GraphQL/event-driven), Forge & Connect app strategy, Marketplace ecosystem, and migration paths (Server/DC → Cloud, Cloud-to-Cloud). - Co-design AI-native workflows — Rovo agents, knowledge grounding, Teamwork Graph enrichment, AI governance, and human-in-the-loop patterns. - Ship durable artifacts — reference architectures, ADRs, Forge prototypes, Terraform/IaC modules, Compass scorecards, automation rule libraries — that survive past the engagement. - Orchestration & Influence - Lead executive discovery with CIOs, CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and Heads of Platform — translating business outcomes into capability roadmaps and phased delivery plans. - Orchestrate execution across SE, SA, TAS/FDE, Professional Services, Partners, and customer stakeholders. - Close the loop with Product — capture patterns from the field and convert them into prioritized, well-articulated product and platform requirements. - Mentor and uplevel Senior Solution Engineers, Solution Architects, and Partner Architects. - Represent Atlassian externally through conference talks, reference architecture publications, and Developer Community contributions. Qualifications - 8–12+ years in customer-facing technical, advisory, consulting, or transformation roles. - A track record of owning and delivering end-to-end transformations at Fortune 1000, large regulated, or public sector customers — not only scoping them. - Executive presence and exceptional written communication; able to produce a memo, ADR, or design doc that stands up to executive review. - Strong workflow and systems thinking, including the ability to map complex processes and design scalable ways of working across business functions. - Comfort with enterprise architecture concepts: cloud-native design, integration patterns, identity, security, and data. - Ability to prototype, debug, and read code in at least one of: Java/Kotlin, TypeScript/Node, Python. - Cross-functional credibility with IT, PMO, HR, Finance, and senior business stakeholders. - Willingness to travel 25–50% and operate across customer time zones. Requirements - Deep cloud-native architecture experience on AWS or equivalent hyperscaler, including multi-region, multi-tenant SaaS, identity, security, and data. - Prior experience at a SaaS vendor's Forward Deployed, Customer Engineering, or Professional Services team. - Or senior architect / Principal Consultant experience at a major SI or Atlassian Solution Partner with a track record of leading platform transformations. - Management or technology consulting background, including Big 4, boutique, or internal strategy. - Domain depth in one or more of: DevOps / Platform Engineering, ITSM/ESM, Agile-at-Scale, FSI, Public Sector, Healthcare. - Experience designing on Forge, the Atlassian Marketplace ecosystem, or large Atlassian Cloud migrations. - AI/LLM architecture experience including RAG, knowledge graphs, agent design, and AI governance. - Relevant certifications such as ACP, AWS Solutions Architect Professional, TOGAF, or CISSP. - Public artifacts including conference talks, open source contributions, published reference architectures, or blogs. Benefits - Atlassian offers a wide range of perks and benefits designed to support you, your family and to help you engage with your local community. - Our offerings include health and wellbeing resources, paid volunteer days, and so much more.
