Come help us build the Newrich Network – the internet’s newest platform designed to inspire and guide people toward living the Newrich Lifestyle.
At Newrich, we practice what we preach: living the Newrich Lifestyle means not only enjoying what you do for a living, but also prioritizing true work-life balance.
As a member of our team, your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being will be a priority. We deeply believe that a fulfilled life starts with balance – and we’re committed to creating a work environment that supports exactly that.
About The Role
At NewRich we provide e-learning, turn-key solutions, and mentorship for digital entrepreneurs. Our core offering is a hybrid SaaS + educational platform + social network.
We’re seeking a Lead Software Engineer who thrives at the intersection of hands-on software development and technical team leadership. This individual will architect and deliver high-performance applications, champion engineering excellence, and establish the cultural and technical foundations that enable a world-class engineering team to thrive.
We are a mission-driven team who values long-term thinking, radical integrity, and a pragmatic approach to building enduring systems. If you’re passionate about code quality, know how to elevate a team through mentorship, and can back strong opinions with data and experience — we want to talk to you.
Responsibilities :

Hands-On Development (80%)
Lead implementation of frontend applications using TypeScript + React
Build and maintain robust backend APIs and services using PHP + Laravel
Design scalable architectures across standard AWS services (e.g., S3, Lambda, RDS, SQS, CloudFront)
Write and maintain comprehensive test coverage (unit, integration, and E2E)
Advocate for performance, accessibility, security, and maintainability in all codebases
Engineering Leadership (20%)
Mentor junior and mid-level engineers via code reviews, 1:1s, and pairing sessions
Champion and enforce best practices: code standards, testing discipline, Git workflows, CI/CD
Collaborate with product and cloud teams to ensure system design aligns with business goals
Foster a culture of accountability, curiosity, and continuous learning
Challenge “the way things are” with reasoned, data-backed proposals for improvement
Help shape hiring processes and participate in technical interviews

Preferred Qualifications

BS in Computer Science or related field
6+ years of professional software engineering experience
Prior experience in a lead-level role on a cross-functional team
Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and serverless frameworks
Passion for developer tools, DX, and process automation
Experience working in high-growth startups or SaaS environments

Our Engineering Philosophy

We don’t chase trends — we focus on clean, maintainable, testable code
We value humility, evidence-based decisions, and shipping real value
We see tests as first-class citizens, not afterthoughts
We care about readability over cleverness, and impact over activity
We believe strong engineering culture starts with documentation, mentorship, and autonomy

If this sounds like a team and mission that resonates with you, we’d love to talk.
The cover letter you upload should be three or four short paragraphs explaining why this position in particular interests you and why you are a great fit.
Applications without a cover letter will not be considered. We are looking to fill this position as soon as possible with the right candidate.

Building and integrating with RESTful and GraphQL APIs
