About The Position

OleOle is building a football-focused social network and super app designed for the world’s 3 billion football fans. The platform combines real-time social feeds and microblogging, TikTok-style short-form video, live scores and match experiences, messaging and mobile calls, AI-powered translation and football history, and rewards, commerce, and future crypto-enabled infrastructure. We are looking for a Senior Front-End Engineer to help architect and build core user-facing experiences across web and mobile platforms. This is not a ticket-driven implementation role. We are looking for engineers who can take ownership of major frontend systems, make strong architectural decisions, and help shape the long-term direction of the platform. You will work closely with backend engineers, product leadership, and design teams to build high-performance, real-time consumer experiences used by football fans globally.
