Description of the offer

Are you an exceptional product designer looking to join a team that’s talented, effective, and taking a disciplined approach to tackling a big vision? Do you want to talk to customers, discover the best solutions to their problems, then go beyond to deliver experiences that showcase what you and our engineers are capable of? Consider joining Ride with GPS as its third designer.

Ride with GPS has been a founder-led company since 2007, continuously focused on one simple mission: To inspire you to go on better rides, more often. Over the years we have developed a full-featured web and mobile product that’s all about bike routes — planning, discovering, navigating, sharing, and much more. We have deep ties to the world of cycling and feel a responsibility to continue innovating and showing people what’s possible when you combine passion, expertise, and humility.

Our vision is for riders everywhere to reach for our service and be out the door a few minutes later on a great ride they couldn’t have anticipated. When our users have a few minutes to kill, they will open up our app or site to see what rides people are up to and contribute a nugget of their local knowledge. And we will continue to be the undisputed platform leader for bike events, clubs, and tours.

The Position

Join our two talented and experienced designers in owning the end-to-end user journey and all aspects of UI/UX design execution — from research and ideation, to prototyping, user testing, and final production — and work with our product teams to craft a world-class experience for cyclists around the world.

• Explore, refine, and iterate on design solutions through wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity visual design
• Present product ideas to relevant team members and participate in the design critique process to receive and provide constructive feedback on design work
• Collaborate with engineers to refine design specifications and see designs through implementation and shipping

Product Strategy

• Work cross-functionally with product management, engineering, support, marketing, and other stakeholders to define product strategy and to produce refined product experiences that our customers love
• Effectively communicate conceptual ideas, design thinking, and the specifics of a user-centered design process
• Measure ongoing improvements against short and long-term strategic goals
