Company Description
OleOle
We are not looking for a generic full stack engineer. We are looking for an engineer who has built travel platforms, booking engines, ticketing systems, hospitality marketplaces, reservation platforms, inventory management systems, supplier onboarding tools, or large-scale consumer commerce products.
OleOle is building a global hard-to-get sports ticketing and travel platform, combined with a proprietary SEO-driven event data engine that generates millions of multilingual pages and fan experiences through real-time AI translation, commerce, payments including stable coins.
No pathetic AI inflated resumes or using someone else's resume
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.
