Full Job 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
