CTO co-founder hands on Rust, Blockchain, AI, startup at T

CTO possible co-founder role hands on Rust, Blockchain, AI, startup experience a must have job tin, TX.

Ole Ole is building the world’s first decentralized football super app — a unified platform that brings together social media, messaging, real-time scores, live video, gambling, e-commerce, and crypto rewards.

We’re building something truly unprecedented — a next-generation social network and messaging platform designed exclusively for the world’s 3+ billion football fans. Think Twitter, Whats App, and Tik Tok fused into one global superapp — built natively using Rust
, Blockchain
, and AI/ML
.

Our vision is bold. We’re not just creating another app — we’re creating the platform
. A decentralized, multilingual football community powered by real-time translation for Twitter-style microblogging and Tik Tok-style videos in over 200 languages
.

But this isn't just social. We're monetizing through crypto-native gambling
, building our own NFT marketplace focused on matchday imagery, and developing a low-fee crypto exchange we believe we can acquire and relaunch for almost nothing. With 4,000+ exchanges out there and fewer than 15 expected to survive, we see a clear consolidation opportunity.

At the center of this entire ecosystem is our upcoming crypto token, OleX — a high-utility token powering transactions, rewards, gambling, and viral platform growth. We're looking for a hands-on technical leader to help architect this future, someone who knows Rust cold, understands blockchain inside and out, and has experience launching or scaling token-based platforms. Prior ICO experience is a big plus.

This is not a CTO title in name only. You’ll be leading from the front
, building the core architecture alongside a lean but growing team, helping us bring our decentralized football superapp to life.

If you're looking to shape the future of social, crypto, and sport — this is it.

The Role

We’re seeking a hands-on CTO
, and possibly a co-founder
, who can own the core technology strategy of Ole Ole and lead its execution from day one.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and lead development of the native Rust backend
  , including APIs, microservices, and system architecture.
• Integrate and manage real-time messaging infrastructure using Web Sockets and event-driven services.
• Oversee the Solana-based OleX token
  , including smart contract development, wallet logic, and payments architecture.
• Build the backend framework for AI-powered features
  , including translation, recommendation engines, and user content analysis.
• Ensure security, scalability, and performance across all systems, especially in crypto and gambling environments.
• Partner with the CEO and broader team to align technical goals with the company’s global vision.
