Company Overview

Come and Join The New Rich!

The opportunity of a lifetime is right at your front door - waiting for you to reach out and grab it.

We're looking for a handful of early hires to continue helping us to shape not just our product but our culture as well.

The world is changing at a very rapid pace. When all is said and done - the world will look a lot different than it looks today.

You have the opportunity to set yourself up for success in this new world - by joining us on our mission to create a community of forward thinking individuals that want to improve their lives and the lives of the people around them - now and for the future.

At NewRich Network, we empower digital entrepreneurs to turn their dreams into reality. Our mission is simple yet bold: to help people create a balanced, fulfilling lifestyle - while building wealth and independence along the way.

We're a fast-growing team driven by one vision: a world where anyone can work remotely, chase their passion, and live life on their own terms.

Our platform combines SaaS tools, e-learning programs, and a supportive social network - a one-stop ecosystem designed for creators, entrepreneurs, and dreamers who want more than just a career.

We are looking for a full-stack Software Engineer who can contribute across the product — building new features, improving existing systems, and helping the team work more efficiently. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment and takes ownership of getting things done.

You will work across our stack (PHP 8.2 / Laravel 10), Node.JS, Golang, and React frontend (React 18 + TypeScript + Vite), and AWS infrastructure, contributing directly to production code while helping improve workflows, documentation, and processes. We hire for attitude and ownership over perfect technical mastery.

We believe fulfilling work and a healthy work-life balance is key to living a NewRich Lifestyle.

If you're motivated, ambitious, and ready to grow with us, we want to hear from you!

Lead development of core platform primitives (content, identity, transactions, messaging)

Improve performance, reliability, and system observability

Work closely with founders to translate product vision into technical systems

Set engineering standards, best practices, and code quality bar

Mentor engineers and help level up the team

Identify and eliminate bottlenecks across the stack

What We're Looking For

Experience

8+ years of software engineering experience

Proven experience designing and scaling complex distributed systems

Experience working on high-growth products or platforms

Background in one or more of:

SaaS infrastructure

Technical Strength

• Strong backend experience (e.g., PHP/Laravel, TypeScript/Node, Go, or similar)
• Deep understanding of:
• System design and architecture
• API design and service boundaries
• Databases (MySQL, Postgres, event-driven systems)
• Caching, queues, and async processing
• Experience with:
• Payment systems or financial workflows (preferred)
• Real-time systems (messaging, notifications, streaming)
• Cloud infrastructure (AWS or equivalent)
• Leadership & Ownership
• Ability to operate with high autonomy
• Strong product intuition—can make tradeoffs between speed and scalability
• Experience mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction
• Comfortable working in early-stage, ambiguous environments
  
  
Tech Stack (Current & Evolving)


• Backend: Laravel (PHP), moving toward TypeScript / Go services
• Database: MySQL (with future evolution toward more scalable architectures)
• Infrastructure: AWS
• Realtime / Messaging: In-house systems (moving away from third-party dependencies)
  
  
Nice to have:


• WebRTC, FFMPEG, HLS, SRT, RTMP, DRM.
• Node.js/Express, GitHub Actions.
• NoSQL (MongoDB, Redis)
• Experience in a multi-service/microservices-style architecture
• Familiarity with AWS services such as ECS/ECR, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Redis, Amazon MQ, and Lambda
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (especially CloudFormation-style templates and environment parameterization)
• Experience improving GitHub Actions workflows and CI/CD pipelines
• Familiarity with automated testing and quality tooling (Pest/PHPUnit, Vitest, Playwright, ESLint/Prettier, Pint, Psalm)
  
  
Personal qualities:


• Self-driven, motivated, reliable in a fast-paced environment
• Passionate about something - including a hobby outside of work (unless coding is also your hobby - we LOVE that)
Responsibilities:


• Develop and maintain server-side applications (PHP 8, Laravel 10, Node.JS, Golang, MySQL).
• Build and optimize APIs, ensure performance, scalability, and security.
• Implement front-end features with React.js (18.2).
• Work with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and code reviews.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, mentor juniors.
• Manage integrations between systems and cloud services (AWS).
• Maintain documentation, database schemas, and ensure security best practices

What Makes This Role Different

• You will help define the technical foundation of an entire ecosystem, not just a feature
• Direct access to founders and influence on product + business decisions
• Opportunity to build both:
• Consumer-grade social product
• Fintech-grade infrastructure
• High ownership, low bureaucracy
  
  

Compensation

• $120,000-$160,000 (combination of base + equity + annual bonus) (based on location, experience, and company performance)
• Meaningful equity package (early-stage upside)
• Flexible work environment
  
  

Who You Should Be

You're not just a coder—you think in systems.

You've built things that broke at scale—and learned how to fix them.

You care about performance, reliability, and long-term architecture, but you also know how to ship fast when it matters.
