Job: UI/UX Designer – Ride with GPS

Job Title *
UI/UX Designer

Company/Organization *
Ride with GPS

Job Description *
We’re looking for an excellent UI/UX Designer to join our team.

The Opportunity

Ride with GPS is a team of eight professionals delivering software that supports great cycling experiences. Our website is used to plan bike routes and events, manage bike clubs, analyze ride data, and publish great rides. Our companion app is a bike computer, route navigator, and ride recorder. Within the cycling world, we’re serving weekend riders, clubs, event organizers, tour operators, and racers. By joining Ride with GPS, you will help many thousands of people have a great time on their bike.

We’re bringing on four more people right now, and will be honing what we have built and taking it to the next level in terms of design & experience. 2017 will be our biggest year on every measure, and it will be a lot of fun to be a part of.

Our team is small – we’ll need you to be very strong in both user experience design and visual design. Your role will have a mix of autonomy and collaboration, and you will have the opportunity to substantially influence our website, app, brand, and overall customer experience. Several of us here have worn the designer hat to get to where we are today, but we have no ego in the work we have done – we have a deep appreciation for great design and want what is best for our customers and product.

Our Purpose

We strive to create great cycling experiences. We want people to go on better rides, more often. We don’t run any ads on the site or in the app, and are able to maintain a singular focus on serving cyclists and those who serve cyclists.

About Us

We are a team of eight (four developers, two marketing/support/outreach/etc, two dedicated support) operating a large online business targeting recreational cyclists. You can view our website at https://ridewithgps.com and check out our mobile apps in the App Store and Google Play. Our business is bootstrapped and profitable, focused on sustainable growth via user satisfaction and word of mouth advertising.

Our office is located in the newly renovated Bakery Blocks building, near NE 22nd and Sandy. We have standing desks, a bike repair station, and a stocked kitchenette & beer fridge. We all love riding bikes, from road riding to fat biking and everything in between. Most of us regularly walk a couple blocks to the Circuit to climb, or go for lunch rides/runs. Three of us are also avid motorcyclists. We support a healthy balanced lifestyle, we’re family-friendly (three of us have young kids), and we are all very passionate about what we do in our work.

Benefits

We offer competitive salary, an excellent office environment as well as health, dental and vision insurance, and a 401k with a 10% match. You’ll be equipped with a new Macbook Pro or iMac, a standing desk and any other productivity tools that are needed. We strongly believe in testing our own software, and as a result are more than happy to help defray some of the costs of cycling.

How to Apply *
If you’re interested, please send an email to careers@ridewithgps.com with your resume and some examples of your work. Please include at least a paragraph explaining your relationship with cycling. We’ll respond in a timely manner and move things forward for promising candidates.
