Spare isn’t the place to coast and we’re up front about that to make sure this is the right fit for both us!
We’re growing fast (2x year over year), building multiple products, and navigating the complexity of govtech. Our work directly impacts lives - Spare’s platform functioning properly means the difference between someone getting to life-saving medical services or being stranded. That kind of responsibility isn’t for everyone.
We operate with a startup mindset: fast-paced, evolving and shifting priorities, and moving forward in the face of ambiguity and imperfect information. You’ll be expected to operate with a high degree of independence, demonstrate strong ownership, and execute with urgency.
We have a severity bias. That means you'll need to relentlessly focus, stay adaptable, and perform consistently at a high level. This isn’t the kind of role where a slow ramp-up is the norm - impact is expected early and often.
Travel is a regular part of many roles at Spare, especially for customer-facing teams. If you're looking for predictability or strict 9–5 boundaries, we may not be the right fit. The work here can be demanding - it’s not easy and it’s not always balanced, but the upside is unmatched: solving hard problems with massive impact, in an environment where your contributions truly matter.
If you’re intrinsically motivated, love solving hard problems, and want to see your work make a real-world impact, Spare is the place where you can do your best work, learn immensely, and grow your career! 🚀
Mobility, like food and running water, is a fundamental human need. It gives us freedom and enables connections. At Spare, we want to move the world and unlock the potential of mobility for everyone. If we succeed in this mission, we can meaningfully reduce humanity's environmental impact, improve equity and enable happier lives for all.
This is a massive opportunity that comes with an even bigger responsibility. Our customers rely on Spare to provide essential mobility services and often depend on Spare for their livelihood. Our industry is depending on Spare to demonstrate that a convenient and sustainable mobility future is possible.
At Spare, we are all here to be a part of this journey. We can bring incredible positive change to the world, and be a part (and own a part) of the business that makes it possible. We're also here to do the best work of our lives, with the smartest colleagues that we've ever had the opportunity to work with. Our philosophy is that a small, brilliant team can accomplish tremendous things. We've seen the success of this philosophy over the last few years, consistently beating out much larger and older competitors with a fundamentally new approach.
In order to achieve our mission, we need this small, brilliant team and an incredible company culture. This page is about that culture.
tl;dr At Spare, we aim to do the following:
