We're hiring interns

Help us build the future of insurance comparison.

Insuregear is an early-stage startup rebuilding insurance comparison from the ground up. We're looking for hungry, talented interns who want to ship work that real users see — not coffee-runs and busywork.

Why intern with us

Real ownership

You'll ship work that users see on day one. Your designs, posts, code, and campaigns go live — no make-work projects.

Direct mentorship

Weekly 1:1s with the founder. Direct feedback. Real career conversations. You're a teammate, not a cog.

Build your portfolio

Everything you build is yours to showcase. Excellent reference letter and LinkedIn recommendation at completion.

Fully remote

Work from anywhere. Flexible hours. We care about output, not face time.

Equity path

Top performers may be offered equity or a first-employee position when we close our pre-seed round.

Honest about pay

These roles are currently unpaid. We're pre-revenue. We compensate with mentorship, real ownership, references, and a possible future equity grant. If that's a dealbreaker, this isn't the right opportunity — and that's okay.

Open roles

All positions are remote, intern-level, and currently unpaid. Apply by sending your portfolio (or relevant work samples) to vetrivel@insuregear.us.
