Create intuitive UX flows, wireframes, prototypes, and polished UI systems for highly engaged football communities. Help define and scale a unified design system across multiple interconnected products and user experiences. Collaborate closely with frontend and backend engineers to ensure high-quality implementation and product consistency. Think deeply about fan engagement, usability, retention, speed, and interaction design. Contribute strategically to product direction — not simply visual execution.

A portfolio with generic SaaS work, weak visual execution, or heavily templated designs will not be a fit. Huge Plus • Passion for football • Experience designing social feeds or creator tools • Experience with motion design and animations • Startup experience building products from zero to one • Experience working on products with millions of users What You Need to Know About Compensation This role is currently deferred compensation meaning there is no salary until funding is secured. The entire team — including leadership, engineers, designers, and product teams — is currently working under the same structure. We are being fully transparent: • There is risk • Nothing is guaranteed • Startup fundraising is difficult At the same time, joining at this stage provides the opportunity to help build a globally ambitious consumer platform from the ground floor alongside a highly committed team. If funding is secured, early team members will be positioned as foundational leaders within the company. Senior UX/UI Designer Qualifications Since OleOle is building a native platform using Rust, we need Senior UX/UI Designers who can work closely with engineers using Rust-based frameworks for web and mobile applications.

Passion for football OleOle is built for football fans; we want people who love and understand the game! This is a unique opportunity to design for a Rust-powered social network and messaging platform at the cutting edge of football, tech, and decentralized commerce. If youre excited about Rust, UI/UX, and football, wed love to hear from you! Compensation is deferred until we close funding. It’s not free work it’s paid post funding and includes equity and token allocation that vest Who We Are Travoom is currently paused as we focus entirely on building OleOle — a football-focused social network, messaging platform, and sports super app designed for the world’s biggest sport. At the same time, continues to operate as our curated football travel and hospitality marketplace, offering premium fan experiences around the biggest matches and tournaments in the world. Both platforms are strategically connected: • OleOle is the fan engagement, social, messaging, and content platform • is the commerce and travel experiences platform Together, they are designed to create a complete football ecosystem for fans globally. What We’re Building OleOle is building a next-generation football platform combining: • Social networking and microblogging • Messaging and mobile calls • TikTok-style short-form video • Live scores and match experiences • AI-powered football history and statistics • Real-time global fan engagement We believe football deserves its own dedicated platform — not a small section buried inside general-purpose social networks. Football is the world’s biggest sport with more than 3 billion fans globally, yet no company has successfully built a true digital home for football supporters. OleOle is designed to become that platform. Why It Matters Football fandom is global, emotional, tribal, and active every day of the year. Yet today, the fan experience remains fragmented across disconnected social platforms, messaging apps, score apps, news sites, ticketing sites, and travel providers. Fans move constantly between products that were never built specifically for football culture or football communities. We believe supporters are looking for a place to truly “kick off” — a platform designed around how football fans actually communicate, follow matches, consume content, travel, and engage with their clubs and national teams. Why We’re Different removes the complexity from planning football travel experiences by combining curated ticketing, hospitality, lodging, and travel experiences into one streamlined platform. OleOle extends that vision much further — creating a football-first platform built specifically around fan identity, conversation, live interaction, creator content, and global football culture. This is not another generic sports app. We are building a dedicated football ecosystem that combines social networking, messaging, content, live experiences, and commerce into a single connected platform.
