Come and Join The New Rich!

The economic inequality crisis is one of the most defining challenges of our time. It’s also the greatest opportunity for innovation, and a challenge we’re proud to take on. At Newrich, we’re harnessing cutting-edge technology to better connect coaches with their communities and help them further spread their educational knowledge to their students and followers.

We believe that the key to making the world a better and more equal place starts with the empowering the individual. And from there- the individual can inspire and empower the people around them one by one.

We all know the old way of living and the old institutions that we all used to depend on are slowly crumbling - and a new way of life is taking it's place - at a quicker pace than ever before.

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.

And we believe that education, inspiration, and motivation are the only way to create economic opportunity, alleviate poverty and end economic suffering for everyone.

One of the leading causes of economic inequality and suffering? It's not "being born into wealth" or " being in a special club". It's a lack of knowledge and skills to control your own financial destiny.

That’s where we come in. At Newrich, we are building the next generation creator platform and software tools to not only enable business, health, and wellness coaches to more efficiently and cost effectively run their creator business - but also to grow their audiences with improved visibility and algorithmic ranking on our social learning platform.

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.

Our team spans the Americas and Europe, and we work with utility partners across the Americas and beyond. We’re outdoor enthusiasts, musicians, artists, athletes, parents, and adventurers—4 nationalities strong and growing. What unites us is a passion for solving complex problems, a commitment to action on economic inequality, and the belief that technology should be a force for good.

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 Staff 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.

This role is not just about shaping our product - it's also about shaping our culture as well.

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!

  • Fast Growth, Big Upside – We’re a small, ambitious team. That means more ownership, faster learning, and a real chance to shape the future of our company (and your career).
  • Equity + Bonus - Take some early equity and grab a piece of our future success. Bonuses paid out based on company hitting specific milestones and KPIs.
