Job description

WANTED: A GRAPHIC DESIGNER WHO WANTS THEIR WORK SEEN BY THE WORLD.

Your ideas. Real products. Shipped to 70+ countries. Most early-career design jobs mean resizing banners and waiting years for someone to trust you with something real.

This isn’t that.

At Rupt, you’ll sketch an idea on Monday and watch it turn into a jacket, a pair of shoes or a collection that ends up on people in Tokyo, London and Los Angeles. Your designs won’t sit in a portfolio. They’ll be worn, carried, gifted and photographed all over the world.

We started in 2024 and immediately started doing things differently: fully custom products with a 1-piece minimum, recycled materials, packaging that gets a second life, and global manufacturing that turns ideas into real products fast. Now we’re pushing into retail, DTC, apparel and footwear, brand collaborations and private-label collections.

We’re building a brand people recognize without seeing the logo. You’ll help make it.

What you’ll actually do

• Design apparel graphics, jackets, shoes, packaging and collections that go into production, not into a drawer
• Create work for Rupt and for brands we partner with, from startups to names you know
• Learn the craft behind physical products: screen print, embroidery, patches, woven labels and full custom
• Take customer ideas and make them way better than they imagined
• Pitch your own ideas. If they’re good, we’ll make them.

You’re probably our person if...

• You have 0 to 3 years of experience, or you’re fresh out of school with a sick portfolio that makes people stop scrolling
• You’re fast and fluent in Illustrator and Photoshop
• You obsess over type, color and the tiny details nobody else notices
• You get way too excited about apparel, sneakers, merch and anything you can hold or wear
• You take feedback as fuel, not an insult
• You’d still be making cool stuff even if nobody paid you to

Who shouldn’t apply

• If you want to coast, this isn’t your job.
• If you need someone holding your hand to finish a project, this isn’t your job.
• If your portfolio looks like it came from typing prompts into an image generator, we’re probably not going to get along.

The details

• Fully remote, full-time
• Pay based on experience
• A small, fast team where your work gets seen, used and credited
