Spare is a rapid-growing, successful startup. We thrive on innovation, rapid execution, and delivering top-tier products that make a real impact in the transit industry. The AI Platform team sits at the center of Spare’s product.

We own the shared services every Spare product depends on, along with Nutshell, Spare’s design system. The systems we support serve millions of AI voice calls every year and help tens of thousands of people get where they need to go. The user interfaces we build are used heavily by transit agencies around the world: dispatchers watching live vehicles, planners modelling a season of service, schedulers building driver shifts for the month ahead.

Dense screens, long shifts, and real consequences when something is hard to use. You’d be joining a cross-functional team of developers, a product manager, and designers, doing customer-facing work with real human impact. The way software gets built is changing.

They’re talking to customers, making design decisions, and owning problems from discovery through a shipped solution. AI has dramatically expanded what a single developer can deliver, and this team leans into that. As a Senior Frontend Engineer, you’d turn the Design team’s direction into the product people actually use.

You’d own the technical calls that keep our interfaces accessible, fast, and organised in the code, so other engineers and our AI workflows can build on them with the right guardrails.



The other development teams are your customers too. You’ll clean up the interfaces we already have, lay the UI foundations for emerging products, and take people with you as they build on top.
