Job Description

SafetyWing (YC W18) is seeking a Graphic Design intern to join us for Summer 2026.

At SafetyWing, we’re building a global social safety net for remote workers—simple health, insurance, and retirement products designed to replace national welfare systems. Our mission is to remove geographical borders as a barrier to equal opportunity and freedom for everyone. If we succeed, we believe this will be one of the most important tasks of our time.

🌎 About this Role:

As a Graphic Design Intern, you’ll play a key role in scaling our visual presence and brand character during an exciting time of growth. You’ll help by supporting our growing pipeline of graphics and growth projects – crafting visual assets that extend our reach and impact. Along the way, you’ll be supported by our experienced design team to help you learn, grow, and thrive.

👩‍💻 Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the design and production of marketing assets across channels (e.g., social, ads, landing pages, email)
• Applying SafetyWing’s brand guidelines consistently while learning when and how to push creative boundaries
• Iterating on design concepts based on feedback and best practices
• Preparing and exporting production-ready files for different formats and platforms
• Conducting lightweight research and reference gathering to inform visual direction
• Contributing ideas for improving visual quality, clarity, and engagement across assets

🧪 We are looking for someone who

• Has a strong eye for layout, typography, color, and composition
• Demonstrates good visual judgment and taste
• Has a portfolio (school, freelance, or personal projects welcome) that demonstrates visual range and an interest in brand or marketing design
• Is curious about emerging creative tools and has experimented with motion design or AI-assisted design workflows
• Is entrepreneurial and self-driven
• Has a basic understanding of design tools such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and Figma and is committed to continuous learning of new features
• Is eager to understand the ‘why’ behind design briefs, not just the ‘what’
• Is committed to dedicating 3 months to this internship, full time, with an anticipated start date in June 2026.
  

😀 We like to work with people who:

• Want to help build a global social safety net on the Internet.
• Think for themselves instead of copying others.
• Are willing to try new things, even with the risk of failure.
• Are intellectually curious and open to new ideas.
• Are creative and bold in the face of any problems.
• Have strong integrity and do the right thing.

🧘 Benefits beyond base pay:

• A great team to learn from and collaborate with, in a fully remote, work-from-anywhere environment 🌏
• A fully paid 3-month internship with the opportunity to learn, grow, and make an impact
• Paid vacation days
• Monthly team meals budget to get to know the team
• Udemy subscription for the duration of your internship to support your learning 
• Book budget for personal development books and recommended readings
• Nomad Insurance and Remote health 

🚀 We look forward to hearing from you!
