Job description

Company Description

Vitality is an athletic apparel brand based in Denver, Colorado, dedicated to creating inspired athleisure for people in pursuit of a purposeful life. Founded in 2018, the brand emerged to address a gap in size-inclusive activewear and now focuses on designing apparel that fits and flatters a wide range of body types. Vitality aims to build confidence through thoughtfully engineered garments that support movement and self-expression. The team values inclusivity, creativity, and quality, offering opportunities to contribute to products that empower customers in their everyday lives.

Senior Technical Designer

Vitality | Activewear + Lifestyle

Remote (Bay Area or Denver) | Weekly fittings in El Cerrito, CA OR Denver, CO

Vitality is looking for a Senior Technical Designer who is organized, detail-oriented, and strong at technical execution and communication. This role is an important part of our product team and works closely with design, product development, and overseas factories to help bring product to life accurately and efficiently. We’re looking for someone who enjoys problem-solving, works well independently, communicates clearly, and takes ownership of their work. This role reports directly to the VP of Design.

What You’ll Do

• Manage technical execution from proto through production
• Manage specs, fit comments, garment measurements, and technical updates
• Translate fit direction into clear, actionable factory communication
• Partner closely with design, product development, and overseas vendors
• Review samples and identify fit/construction issues proactively
• Maintain consistency across fit, grading, and construction standards
• Update sketches and technical documentation as needed
• Support weekly fit sessions and accurately track revisions
• Build out tech packs as a team

What We’re Looking For

• 6–8 years of technical design experience in apparel
• Strong understanding of fit and construction in activewear and/or stretch garments
• Strong communication skills with factories and cross-functional teams
• Understanding of pattern adjustments and fit implications
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail
• Self-motivated and dependable
• Calm, solutions-oriented mindset
• Comfortable working independently and managing priorities
• Comfortable working in PLM systems and updating sketches in Adobe Illustrator
• Experience with tech packs, fit comments, and garment construction

About the Role

• Mostly remote/hybrid, may require some commute throughout the week to grab any reference samples
• Weekly in-person fittings ~1 day/week
• Collaborative, low-ego team environment
• High standards with a practical, level-headed approach
• Flexibility paired with accountability and ownership

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a team where people care about doing good work, communicate directly, and genuinely support one another. We move quickly, stay focused on product quality, and value people who are proactive, thoughtful, and reliable. If you enjoy technical design and want meaningful ownership within a strong team environment, we’d love to connect.
