Description

Company Description OleOle OleOle is building a global football super app combining social networking, messaging, live scores, short-form video, gambling, commerce, payments, translation, and mini programs into a single ecosystem focused entirely on football. The vision is to create the first true “WeChat for football” — a platform where fans, clubs, brands, leagues, sportsbooks, creators, and merchants can communicate, transact, and engage directly inside one global environment. Unlike traditional social media platforms, OleOle is built specifically for sports fans and designed around communication, real-time engagement, commerce, and community. The platform combines elements of: Twitter/X style social conversation TikTok-style short-form video WhatsApp-style messaging live score platforms programmable commerce mini program ecosystems similar to WeChat All integrated into a single football-first platform. Core Platform Vision OleOle is designed around several key ideas: Communication First Fans can communicate directly with: clubs brands sportsbooks creators media companies other fans through follows, messaging, sharing, comments, and real-time translated conversations. Mini Program Ecosystem OleOle is building a mini program platform that allows brands and partners to launch experiences directly inside the platform without requiring fans to download separate applications. Initial mini program categories include: Games News Merchandise Ticket Sales VIP Hospitality Gambling Fans can: follow or unfollow mini programs communicate directly with brands share mini programs with friends receive translated content automatically Brands can communicate directly with followers within platform communication limits designed to prevent spam and preserve user experience. Real-Time Translation A core component of the platform is AI-driven real-time translation across conversations, content, video, messaging, and mini programs. The goal is to remove language barriers between global football fans and allow mini programs to operate across dozens of languages automatically. This creates a global communication layer connecting fans, clubs, brands, and creators worldwide. Wallet + Payments Infrastructure OleOle includes an integrated Wallet ID and payment infrastructure powering: commerce rewards gambling digital collectibles mini program transactions creator payouts The platform is designed around programmable commerce and frictionless fan engagement. Technology Stack OleOle is being built as a native Rust platform focused on: scalability performance real-time communication low-latency systems global infrastructure payments social engagement video delivery The company is also building: AI translation systems football history AI infrastructure developer platforms mini program tooling programmable payment rails The Long-Term Vision OleOle’s long-term vision is to become the global operating system for football fans: social networking communication commerce gaming gambling content ticketing rewards programmable fan experiences all inside one interconnected ecosystem. OleOle – Where Fans Kick Off Job Description Role Overview – Senior Mini Program Platform Architect / Rust Developer Platform Lead This role is focused on helping OleOle design and eventually build the platform infrastructure behind the OleOle Mini Program ecosystem. This is not a traditional frontend or mobile application role. We are looking for someone who understands platform architecture, developer ecosystems, communication systems, and scalable infrastructure. The long-term vision is to allow clubs, brands, sportsbooks, media companies, creators, merchandise companies, ticketing companies, gaming companies, and hospitality providers to launch mini programs directly inside OleOle without requiring users to download separate applications. The role is centered around building the underlying architecture that powers: mini program runtime systems communication infrastructure developer tooling SDKs and APIs AI-assisted mini program generation template systems translation infrastructure wallet and payment integrations follow/unfollow communication systems Core Concepts Behind the Platform Mini programs inside OleOle are not traditional standalone mobile apps. They are lightweight experiences running inside the OleOle ecosystem where: fans can follow or unfollow mini programs brands can communicate directly with followers fans can communicate back to brands mini programs can be shared socially content is translated automatically across languages identity, payments, notifications, messaging, and translation are inherited from the core platform This creates a communication and commerce ecosystem centered around football fans globally. Initial Mini Program Categories The initial focus areas for mini programs include: Games News Merchandise Ticket Sales VIP Hospitality Gambling The architecture must support high-scale fan engagement and communication across these categories. Technical Direction OleOle is being built primarily in Rust. Rust is a critical requirement for this role because the platform is expected to operate at massive global scale with heavy emphasis on: real-time communication scalability concurrency performance low-latency systems payments infrastructure messaging systems API platforms The mini program ecosystem itself will likely combine: Rust backend systems scalable APIs template-based mini program architecture SDK/runtime systems communication infrastructure AI-assisted generation workflows Solana-based payment rails real-time translation systems What Success Looks Like The ideal outcome is a platform where brands and clubs can launch mini programs quickly and cost-effectively using templates, APIs, communication tools, translation systems, and integrated payment infrastructure. Long-term, the platform may evolve toward AI-assisted mini program generation where businesses can create experiences using structured templates and existing APIs instead of building custom applications from scratch. Ideal Backgrounds This role may be a strong fit for engineers or architects with experience in: WeChat mini programs Shopify app ecosystems Apple or Google developer platforms programmable commerce systems API platforms messaging infrastructure social platforms SDK/runtime systems developer tooling scalable backend systems Rust infrastructure payment platforms AI-assisted development systems Qualifications Qualifications – Senior Mini Program Platform Architect / Rust Developer Platform Lead Required Technical Experience Strong Rust backend engineering experience Experience designing scalable distributed systems Experience building API-driven platforms Experience designing communication or messaging systems Experience working with real-time infrastructure Strong understanding of platform architecture and developer ecosystems Experience designing systems intended to support high-scale user engagement Experience building or contributing to SDKs, runtime systems, or developer tooling Strong understanding of scalable backend infrastructure and concurrency Preferred Experience Experience with one or more of the following areas is highly preferred: Mini program ecosystems Developer platforms WeChat mini programs Shopify app ecosystems Apple or Google developer ecosystems Social platforms Messaging systems Payment infrastructure Programmable commerce Wallet infrastructure API marketplaces Real-time translation systems AI-assisted software generation Template-based application systems Live communication systems Large-scale fan or consumer engagement platforms Ideal Candidate Profile The ideal candidate is not simply a frontend or mobile application engineer.
