Présentation
As of 2022, Hammerhead has been acquired by SRAM, a leading manufacturer of innovative bicycle components. Hammerhead sits at the intersection of technology and athletics, and we have begun with a contradiction we identified in cycling tech: its digital technology is decades behind its material technology. Our mission is to inspire & empower all people to unlock their athletic potential through cycling. As a UX Designer at Hammerhead, you will work closely with our Product team to support multiple product lines, as well as bring to life a world-class end-user experience. This will involve collaboration with the Product, Software, and Industrial Design teams to design and implement a cohesive vision to solve our current and future customers’ problems in ways that build upon our existing products. Your experience will help maintain a user-centered perspective across our design decisions. Your creativity will be put to use in brainstorming ways to solve cyclists’ problems and applying proven design methods to the latest technology when possible. All this while designing, testing, and evaluating our current and future generations of software. The right candidate is a strong product designer that strives to make simple, effortless user experiences. They are analytical generalists, passionate about best practices and emerging UX patterns as well as polished visual design. They are comfortable owning a project from start to finish — from the first customer interview to public release. They enjoy discovering reusable patterns and frameworks for a better, faster design process. They understand the importance of brand, including others, sharing wins, and have developed techniques for effective collaboration and consensus-building.
