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 Ole Ole is located in beautiful Austin Texas, however, this role requires some travel we are privately held and rapidly growing! OleOle is building a global social, messaging and commerce platform designed specifically for the more than three billion football fans around the world. The platform brings together social media, short-form video, encrypted messaging and calling, live scores, real-time translation and football content within a single global ecosystem. Our goal is to connect fans across clubs, countries and languages while creating an infrastructure that extends well beyond social media. Every OleOle user receives a persistent Wallet ID that connects their identity across the ecosystem. Over time, OleOle will integrate payments, commerce, Mini Programs, ticketing and travel, gaming, digital assets and financial services. Mini Programs will allow clubs, brands, merchants and third-party developers to build services directly within OleOle, using the platform’s identity, social and payment infrastructure. OleOleSport, our ticketing and travel business, provides an important early commercial opportunity through tickets, VIP hospitality and travel experiences around major sporting events. As the OleOle audience grows, additional businesses are designed to scale alongside it, including Mini Programs, payments, gaming and NewZeros, our planned financial infrastructure combining exchange capabilities with a broader payments and transaction network. We are currently a team of approximately 20 people building across backend infrastructure, social, video, messaging, AI and translation, payments, football data, product and design. OleOle is being built around a long-term thesis: football is the world’s largest shared passion, yet its global audience remains fragmented across social networks, messaging applications, sports platforms and commerce providers. We believe there is an opportunity to bring those experiences together in one global platform and build significant businesses around the resulting network. OleOle — Where Fans Kick Off.
