The company is currently seeking Full-Service Shoppers to join their network of independent contractors. This role offers an exceptional opportunity to start earning quickly with a flexible schedule, perfect for anyone looking to supplement their income, enjoy part-time work, or pursue a flexible career path.

Weekly pay is standard, with the option for an instant cashout feature that allows shoppers to receive their earnings promptly. Additionally, this role offers potential to earn tips and benefit from special earnings promotions that reward efficient and high-quality service.

The position requires consistent access to a vehicle and a recent smartphone to use the Shopper app effectively, ensuring timely and accurate delivery of goods. Shoppers must be eligible to work in the United States and be at least 18 years old, with a minimum age of 21 required to deliver alcohol. Instacart is committed to fostering an inclusive work environment and provides equal opportunities to all independent contractors regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, veteran status, disability, or any other legally protected category.

This role is especially suited to those who value autonomy, enjoy staying active, and seek a gig opportunity with immediate earning potential.
