Projects can range from application and network penetration testing to social engineering assessments, security audits, and consulting on compliance requirements. Depending on skillset and certifications, you might focus on certain industries such as finance, healthcare, or technology. The freelance structure allows you to choose projects that align with your expertise and interests, and often involves working independently or collaborating remotely with client IT teams. Success in this role typically requires strong self-management and the ability to communicate findings and recommendations clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders alike.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a freelance hacker, and why are they important?

To succeed as a Freelance Hacker, you need a deep understanding of cybersecurity principles, penetration testing, and vulnerability assessment, often backed by experience in programming and network security. Commonly used tools and certifications include Kali Linux, Metasploit, Wireshark, and credentials such as CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) or OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional). Strong problem-solving skills, ethical judgment, clear communication, and adaptability are critical soft skills in this position. These abilities ensure effective, responsible identification and remediation of security risks for diverse clients while maintaining trust and professionalism.

Applicant and Candidate Privacy Notice

About Us
Named "The Fastest Growing Retailer in the US", Dolls Kill is a fashion brand that boldly empowers young women to celebrate their individuality. With over three million followers on Instagram, we've become a cult favorite among DJs, celebrities and artists around the world.
 
Based in Oakland, we have an amazing team of retail leaders, scrappy hackers, creative marketers and fashion trendsetters who are fun to work with and serious about what they do. We're also backed strong consumer-focused investors who share in our vision of building one of the world's next great consumer brands.
 
About The Role
The Freelance Apparel Designer supports Dolls Kill's product team in developing new styles across all categories (ready-to-wear, intimates, outerwear, etc.), from concept through tech pack. This is a flexible, project-based role suited to a designer who can work independently, turn around fast-paced deliverables, and design specifically for the DK customer.
Responsibilities
  • Design new styles based on trend direction and brand aesthetic
  • Sketch original designs by hand or digitally (Illustrator/Procreate) and translate concepts into clear, detailed design specs
  • Research trends across alternative fashion, festival wear, rave, goth, punk, and subculture-adjacent spaces to keep designs current and distinct
  • Select fabrics, trims, prints, and washes appropriate to cost targets and DK's aesthetic
  • Build and maintain tech packs: measurements, construction details, callouts, colorways, and trims for factories/vendors
Qualifications
  • Understanding of our unique aesthetic and lifestyle
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating range across silhouettes, prints, categories and trims — bonus points if it already leans alternative/subculture
  • College degree in Fashion Design required
  • 5-7 years industry experience in fashion design required (apparel, footwear and/or bags/accessories) 
  • Ability to sketch computerized vector flats in Adobe Illustrator (hand sketching is a huge plus)
  • Tech pack experience required
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop 
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Comfortable working independently and meeting deadlines within a freelance/contract structure
