The concept is straightforward but the execution is not. A dachshund owner buys from us because we engineered for a dachshund's body — long torso, short legs, back vulnerability. A French bulldog owner buys because we designed for a French bulldog's chest width, neck structure, and respiratory sensitivity. A pug owner buys because we understood what a pug actually needs. Not one-size-fits-most. Not trend-driven. Purpose-built. This is a 5 to 10 year brand architecture project. We are not looking for someone to refresh a collection. We are looking for someone to build something from the ground up — to study breeds the way an engineer studies a problem, and to translate that knowledge into products that are genuinely better for the animal and genuinely differentiated in the market. This role reports directly to the CEO and sits at the center of every product decision we make. What You'll Do Lead ideation and concept development for breed-specific harness and apparel products, starting from animal anatomy and known breed health needs Own the full product development lifecycle — from initial research and sketches through tech packs, samples, fittings, and production handoff to our Vietnam factory Establish breed-specific fit standards, including working toward dedicated mannequins and size specifications for each target breed Define the creative direction and product identity for Gooby's next chapter — not just what products look like, but why they exist and what problem they solve Collaborate with our in-house sample room to prototype, test, and iterate quickly Work with our dog model network to conduct real-world fit testing and observe behavioral feedback Partner cross-functionally with operations, sales, and the CEO on product strategy, costing, and development timelines Contribute to building a cohesive brand language that works across harnesses, apparel, packaging, and retail presentation What We're Looking For This role is not for everyone. If your process starts with trend research, Pinterest boards, and competitor references — this is not the right fit. We've been in this industry for 24 years and we know what copying looks like. We're looking for someone who leads with a concept, understands why a product should exist before deciding what it looks like, and has the technical foundation to back up their creative instincts. The Ideal Candidate Has: Functional product design experience — hard goods, accessories, bags, protective gear, sportswear, or performance apparel. You think about construction, stress points, hardware, and failure modes — not just silhouette and colorway End-to-end product ownership — you've taken products from concept through overseas production, not handed off at the sketch stage Brand-building track record — you've defined where a product line or brand should go, not just executed someone else's vision. You can point to something you built, not just maintained Technical construction depth — you understand seam engineering, hardware selection, material behavior, and why those decisions matter for a product that needs to hold a dog safely Curiosity and humility about new categories — you ask questions before you design, you study the subject before you sketch, and you're honest about what you don't know yet Bonus — Not Required: Experience with safety-rated products (OSHA, CE, ASTM) or load-bearing hardware Accessory or bag design background Pet industry or animal product experience Pattern making knowledge What This Role Is Not A graphic or surface design role — if your primary expertise is print, wash, and embellishment, this is not the position A trend-execution role — we don't design collections around what's selling elsewhere A remote-optional role — we are in-office at our Los Angeles location (Boyle Heights), Monday through Friday. Our sample room, product, and team are all here and in-person collaboration is essential Portfolio Required: Please include a link to your portfolio with your application. Applications without a portfolio will not be reviewed. Apply Now Gooby Gooby (goobypet.com) is a small dog specialty brand with over 24 years in the pet industry. We design, develop, and manufacture harnesses and apparel for dogs under 30 lbs, products built on functional innovation, including patented escape-free and choke-free harness systems. We sell through Petco, PetSmart, Chewy, Amazon, and 700+ boutiques across North America, and operate our own factory in Vietnam with an in-house sample room in Los Angeles. We are not a fashion brand that happens to make pet products. We are a functional product company that takes construction, fit, and purpose seriously — and we're looking for a designer who thinks the same way.
