Senior Full Stack Developer - PHP Laravel

Headquarters: São Paulo, State of São Paulo, Brazil

Company Overview

 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 Laravel services (PHP 8.2 / Laravel 10), 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!
