Bike Mechanic

Sound Break is a cycling hub in Pioneer Square built around community, exploration, and a genuine love of riding. In addition to a cafe and robust cycling program, we have a full service bike shop specializing in analog bicycle maintenance of all styles and price ranges, custom frame buildups, and rebuilds. We’re looking for a skilled mechanic to join our passionate, cycling-obsessed, community-focused team.

The Role
 As our Bike Mechanic, you’ll be the backbone of our service operation — diagnosing, repairing, and tuning bikes for a diverse mix of daily commuters, weekend riders, and visiting cyclists exploring the PNW. You’ll also support our rental fleet, keeping it road-ready and well-maintained.

Responsibilities

  • Perform repairs, tune-ups, and builds across a range of bike types and brands
  • Maintain and inspect our rental fleet
  • Provide honest, knowledgeable service recommendations to customers
  • Collaborate with the broader team on events, rides, and community programming
  • Keep the shop organized, efficient, and welcoming

What We’re Looking For

  • 2+ years of professional bike mechanic experience
  • Proficiency across drivetrain, braking, wheel, and suspension systems, including hydros and full suspension bikes.
  • Strong customer communication skills — you’re comfortable talking bikes with anyone from a first-timer to a seasoned rider
  • A genuine passion for cycling and the Pacific Northwest
  • Familiarity with POS and work order systems a plus

Compensation & Benefits

  • $25–$30/hour depending on experience
  • Benefits package available, including health, dental, and vision

Sound Break is for riders of all levels, and we want a team that reflects that. If you care about bikes, community, and getting more people outside, we’d love to hear from you.
