I think you are right. But get is not a naturalthe best verb for this kind of activity (though it is often used), and as you surmised the true meaning is not so clear.
As you mentioned, found is probably a better verb to use:

Did you know I found a new job?

If you had started the job:

Did you know I started a new job?

And if you had not found a new job yet:

Did you know I'm looking for a new job?
