We’ve been talking about Awesome Companies in our blogs, social media and some are featured on the website too. At Geektrust, we meet and interact with companies, understand their work, culture and what they’re looking for from techies they hire, before on-boarding them. We’ve met 150+ companies doing outstanding work in technology right here in Bangalore. We’ll be writing more about these companies in our blogs, so that techies can stay aware of the work happening in the startup space and apply to companies they find interesting. In this blog we talk about a startup born from passion and with tech at the core – Hammerhead.

By cyclists, for cyclists. Hammerhead is a team of dedicated engineers and cyclists, united by a single mission, across more than a dozen time zones and four continents. Hammerhead’s product Karoo is setting out to be the best software tool set for cyclists, delivered on uncompromising hardware.

When you meet the Hammerhead team, you get the impression of a group of folks, passionate about tech, passionate about cycling, coming together to build a truly world-class product. Hammerhead Karoo is the name of their device and the software piece is built from Namma Bengaluru. Karoo enables bicyclists to create routes, navigate them and race in real time.

The problems they are solving are very real-time and physical in nature, like road navigation using sensors and GPS. It is a very engineering and math-driven enterprise. So if you have an engineering bend to problem-solving and feel comfortable reading scientific papers and cranking out a software based on it, they want you!

Take a look at their blog to understand more about how they go about what they do, and apply here if you’re interested in working with them. (Note: You need to clear a Geektrust coding challenge to proceed directly to interview with the core team.)
