SafetyWing

Who we are

Born in 2018, SafetyWing builds global travel medical and health insurance for digital nomads, freelancers, and remote teams. We're creating a global social safety net—starting with Nomad Insurance for individuals and Remote Health for companies—so access to healthcare and protection isn't limited by borders. Headquartered in San Francisco with a fully remote team across six continents, we design simple, modern insurance for a borderless world.

Our team

We're an international, remote-first team from 60+ countries working asynchronously with high trust and autonomy. We keep meetings light, collaborate across time zones, and meet in person for memorable gatherings in places like Tulum, Bali, Iceland, Madeira, Colombia, Germany, and Vietnam. We look for people who are kind, thoughtful, and independent—builders who enjoy ownership and care deeply about the mission.

Our values and mission

• Aim for the ideal: Imagine better systems and build them.
• Be authentic: Speak truth with kindness and integrity.
• Create, don't copy: Choose creativity over convention.
• Simpler is better: Remove noise to highlight value.
• Do only what matters: Focus on the most impactful work.
• Let the best idea win: Take suggestions, not orders—data and users guide us.

Our mission is to remove geographic borders as a barrier to equal opportunity and freedom for everyone.

Work culture

SafetyWing embraces radical flexibility and async-first collaboration. With team members distributed across every continent, we've built a culture that respects individual autonomy while fostering meaningful connections. Our approach minimizes synchronous meetings, empowering everyone to work during their most productive hours. When we do come together, our annual in-person retreats create lasting bonds and shared experiences that strengthen our remote-first foundation.
