How much do pattern maker jobs pay per year?
What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Pattern Maker, and why are they important?
What Does a Pattern Maker Do?
The duties of a pattern maker are to create master patterns or samples that manufacturers can use in the production of garments, shoes, and other types of apparel. Pattern makers also work in other manufacturing industries that require translating designs into correctly dimensioned, technically sound patterns. You use plans or blueprints created by designers to draft a pattern that has the proper fit. The responsibilities of a patternmaker also include grading, which involves changing the dimensions of the design in marker areas so that it can adjust to different sizes while keeping the same appearance.
What are pattern makers?
How does a Pattern Maker typically collaborate with designers and production teams throughout the garment development process?
What is the difference between Pattern Maker vs Sample Maker?
| Aspect | Pattern Maker | Sample Maker |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Role | Designs and develops patterns for garments based on design specifications. | Constructs and assembles sample garments using patterns to test fit and design. |
| Skills & Certifications | Knowledge of pattern drafting, draping, and CAD software; often requires fashion or technical design background. | Proficiency in sewing, fabric manipulation, and garment construction; experience with fitting and finishing techniques. |
| Work Environment | Workshops, design studios, or pattern departments within apparel companies. | Sewing rooms, sample departments, or production facilities. |
While both roles are essential in apparel production, Pattern Makers focus on creating the blueprint for garments, whereas Sample Makers bring those patterns to life through actual samples. Pattern Makers typically handle technical design and drafting, while Sample Makers execute the construction process to test fit and design details.

Job description
The mission of Speechify is to make sure that reading is never a barrier to learning.
Over 50 million people use Speechify's text-to-speech products to turn whatever they're reading - PDFs, books, Google Docs, news articles, websites - into audio, so they can read faster, read more, and remember more. Speechify's text-to-speech reading products include its iOS app, Android App, Mac App, Chrome Extension, and Web App. Google recently named Speechify the Chrome Extension of the Year and Apple named Speechify its 2025 Design Award winner for Inclusivity.
Today, nearly 200 people around the globe work on Speechify in a 100% distributed setting - Speechify has no office. These include frontend and backend engineers, AI research scientists, and others from Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, leading PhD programs like Stanford, high growth startups like Stripe, Vercel, Bolt, and many founders of their own companies
- Lead the design, architecture, and development of native Windows desktop applications using Windows App SDK, WinUI (or related UI frameworks), C#, XAML, and - when needed - C++.
- Define and enforce best-practices for Windows desktop development across the codebase: code architecture, performance, memory usage, responsive UI, cross-version compatibility (Windows 10/11+), and maintainability.
- Drive accessibility efforts: integrate and validate support for accessibility APIs (e.g. Microsoft UI Automation or other relevant Windows accessibility frameworks), ensure UI controls, focus management, keyboard navigation, screen-reader support, and usability for users with disabilities.
- Collaborate closely with product designers, UX researchers, QA, and other stakeholders to shape feature planning, UI/UX architecture, and long-term roadmap for the Windows platform.
- Take ownership of full lifecycle of features: conception design implementation testing release maintenance. Ensure quality, reliability, and consistency across releases.
- Identify, diagnose, and resolve complex bugs, performance bottlenecks, memory leaks, rendering issues, or compatibility problems - and propose robust architectural or design solutions.
Required:
- 3+ in Windows desktop application development using Windows App SDK, WinUI (or similar), C#, XAML - and ideally additional experience with native Windows code (C++, Win32/WinRT/COM).
- Deep understanding of Windows application architecture, including interop between managed code (.NET) and native code.
- Proven track record of designing, building, and shipping production-quality desktop applications, with an emphasis on reliability, performance, scalability, and maintainability.
- Strong experience with accessibility APIs on Windows (e.g. Microsoft UI Automation or similar), and a dedication to building accessible and inclusive software.
- Excellent software engineering fundamentals: OOP, design patterns, data structures, algorithms, memory management, multi-threading or asynchronous programming (where relevant).
- Experience leading technical design, mentoring other engineers, conducting code reviews, and making architecture-level decisions.
- Strong communication skills; ability to articulate tradeoffs, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and drive consensus.
- A user-centric mindset: focus on building polished, intuitive, and accessible experiences for end users.
Preferred / Bonus:
- Experience with writing automated tests for UI - unit tests, integration tests, UI automation tests; familiarity with relevant testing frameworks.
- Experience with performance optimization for desktop apps (memory usage, startup time, rendering performance, high-DPI support, responsiveness under load).
- Experience with localization/globalization, right-to-left UI support, internationalization, accessibility for multiple regions.
- Familiarity with telemetry, analytics, crash reporting, logging, and error monitoring in desktop applications.
- Previous experience in shaping CI/CD workflows, release pipelines, and deployment strategies for desktop applications.
- Demonstrated ability to take ownership of feature areas or modules and drive them long-term, including maintenance, refactoring, and technical debt management.
What we offer
- A high-impact role: you will define architecture, shape the future of our Windows product, and directly influence what millions of users see and experience.
- A collaborative, flat-structure engineering culture - you are not just a coder, but a builder and a decision-maker.
- Opportunities to lead - mentor others, steer technical direction, and grow into broader technical leadership (e.g. Tech Lead, Architect).
- Flexibility, autonomy, and responsibility: you define how to solve problems, own features end-to-end, and contribute to long-term product vision.
- A purpose-driven mission: building software that's reliable, accessible, and user-centered - making a real difference for people.
The United States Based Salary range for this role is: 140,000-200,000 USD/Year + Bonus + Stock depending on experience
