OleOle

Who We Are

OleOle is building a decentralized social network and messaging platform for global football fans — think Twitter + WhatsApp + TikTok + theScore + WeChat, built natively using Rust, WebAssembly, and blockchain-compatible architecture.

Our mission is to disrupt the global sports ecosystem by empowering fans, clubs, and brands to connect, transact, and create — all without middlemen. From football content to commerce, ticketing, gaming, NFTs, and crypto betting — we’re building a super app for sports.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be a founding engineer at a startup aiming to reshape how sports communities engage digitally — from the Champions League to the World Cup.

What we do...

oleolesport.com empowers people to identify football experience and without any search requirements, simply presents the traveler with vetted components necessary to bring the trip to life -- tickets, lodging, flights and beyond. And we are building a football super app.

Why we are better...

oleolesport.com’s searchless travel approach means a soccer/football experience can be discovered, planned and purchased in a matter of minutes without the endless search-driven lunacy and inefficiency that comes with all travel planning. There isnt a sports social network, oh some claim to be however they lack even the slightest understanding of network platforms.

About the Role

We are looking for a sharp, reliable, and curious System Des with 3–5 years of experience to join our core engineering team. You’ll help lay the foundation for a high-performance, scalable, and secure infrastructure powering millions of fans around the world.

This is a career-defining opportunity to work with a startup building cutting-edge backend systems using Rust and other modern technologies. You’ll collaborate directly with our lead engineer, frontend/mobile teams, and DevOps to design, build, and manage core infrastructure and system services.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate on backend architecture for a real-time, social-first, sports platform.
• Develop and maintain core services in Rust, Elixir (Erlang VM), or similar performant languages.
• Work with DevOps on CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and system observability.
• Support infrastructure scaling, caching, and performance optimization.
• Ensure security best practices are implemented at the system level.
• Document system designs, APIs, and internal tooling.
• Contribute to discussions on architecture, data models, and platform integration.

Compensation

• Pre-funding: Deferred compensation only
• Post-funding: Competitive salary + Equity package
• Join a visionary founding team and help shape a global platform for billions of football fans.

Required Skills & Experience

• 3–5 years of hands-on experience as a systems or backend engineer.
• Strong programming experience in Rust, Go, Elixir, Node.js, or similar.
• Experience designing and maintaining scalable microservices or monoliths.
• Good understanding of Linux systems, networking, and cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, GCP, or bare metal).
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or other container orchestration tools.
• Familiarity with PostgreSQL, Redis, and other modern data stores.
• Strong debugging and performance tuning skills.
• Comfort working in fast-paced startup environments with limited structure.

Bonus Experience (Nice to Have)

• Prior experience at an early-stage startup.
• Familiarity with Rust-based development workflows.
• Experience working on chat, social, gaming, or live score apps.
• Interest in football or sports platforms.
• Understanding of distributed systems and event-driven architecture.

Solutions not problems .

• Creative problem solver who can courageously propose and support new ideas to our organization. Not interested in best practices, lets build something better!
• Ability to adapt. An ideal candidate will welcome the opportunity to solve a broad range of problems using a wide array of technologies.
• Comfortable with ambiguity, shifting priorities and general growing pains of an early-stage technology company
• An exceptional entrepreneurial judgment that fosters independence over micro-management
• Understanding of football and international sports a huge plus

• We are offering:

• Founding engineer-level equity and token allocation
• Deferred salary until funding is secured
• All current team members are working on a deferred compensation basis — we lost our funding two months ago and made the decision to build while we raise. This comes with real risk. Closing funding could take two months or it could take five — but we’re committed to this vision and we’re looking for someone who’s equally passionate and resilient.
• Long-term ownership and technical leadership
• A mission-driven, elite team with deep experience in sports, media, crypto, and startups

• You’ll be one of the first engineers — which means maximum influence and upside.

Ole Ole is located in beautiful Austin Texas, however, this role requires some travel we are privately held and rapidly growing!
