It hasn't been reposted, listed twice, or left up unusually long, and the posting doesn't say it's a talent pool.
Ghostless records the day it first sees a posting, so a repost can't reset its age. This one was already up when Ghostless started tracking Spare, so its true age is longer.

About Us
Spare is a fast-growing, successful startup. We thrive on innovation, rapid execution, and delivering top-tier products that make a real impact in the transit industry. We are now seeking a Software Development Team Lead to join our Infrastructure Platform Team and help build and operate the cloud platform that every Spare product runs on.
About This Role
As leader of the team responsible for Spare's core infrastructure platform, you will play a critical role in designing and building the reliable, secure, and cost-efficient foundation that powers our customers' on-demand transit systems. Working closely with others on the team, you will own the correct and efficient operation of the platform across a variety of real-world production scenarios.
In this role, you'll split your time 50/50 between hands-on technical contribution and people leadership, working in an autonomous environment where you'll solve interesting technical challenges while growing and mentoring a high-performing team. Currently there are four software developers reporting to this role.
Given the nature of our business, this role requires someone who can balance technical expertise with strong product sensibilities, creating solutions that are both technically sound and accessible to end users. The role includes some travel as part of the job responsibilities – specifically, up to four customer site visits per year to gain firsthand insights, plus participation in our biannual software development hackathons in Vancouver.

Don't meet every single requirement?
Studies have shown that women and people of colour are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification in the job posting.
At Spare, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment so we strongly encourage you to apply even if you don't believe you meet every single qualification outlined. We also do our best to respond to all applications we receive.
About the Infrastructure Platform Team
The Infrastructure Platform Team's job is to build and run the foundation that Spare's on-demand transportation platform depends on — where circumstances change in real time and downtime is not an option. Primarily this involves keeping our Kubernetes clusters reliable and secure, hardening our application resilience, driving cloud cost efficiency, and making sure our distributed systems can handle real-time updates efficiently.
Why Join Us?
If you are ready to tackle complex routing and optimization challenges and thrive in a high-performance environment, we'd love to hear from you!
