Senior Front-End Developer; Rust-Integrated​/AWS

Senior Front-End Developer (Rust-Integrated / AWS)

Company Description
Ole Ole is building the world’s first social network and messaging platform built entirely for football fans. Imagine a hybrid of Twitter, Tik Tok, Whats App, live scores, and WeChat-style mini programs—all in one native, blockchain-powered Super App.
We’re using Rust, AI, and the Solana blockchain to deliver real-time translated content, in‑match crypto gambling, fan rewards, and a decentralized app marketplace for clubs, brands, and developers.
Our platform empowers over 3 billion football fans to join their club and country communities, share content, place bets, earn rewards, and interact with their favorite teams in any language—all without ads or middlemen.
Ole Ole is venture‑backed, global, and rapidly expanding. We operate on deferred compensation until funding closes, with upside in equity and tokens for those who want to build the future of sports.
