Senior Backend Rust Engineer - Twitter​/X Style Infrastructure

Company Description

Ole Ole

Ole Ole 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, sports books, creators, and merchants can communicate, transact, and engage directly inside one global environment.

Unlike traditional social media platforms, Ole Ole 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
• Tik Tok-style short-form video
• Whats App-style messaging
• live score platforms
• programmable commerce
• mini program ecosystems similar to We Chat

All integrated into a single football-first platform.

Core Platform Vision

Ole Ole is designed around several key ideas:

Communication First

Fans can communicate directly with:

• clubs
• brands
• sports books
• creators
• media companies
• other fans

through follows, messaging, sharing, comments, and real-time translated conversations.

Mini Program Ecosystem

Ole Ole 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 barriers between global football fans and allow mini programs to operate across dozens of languages automatically.

This creates a global communication layer connecting fans, clubs, brands, and creators worldwide.

Wallet + Payments Infrastructure

Ole Ole includes an integrated Wallet  payment infrastructure powering:

• commerce
• rewards
• gambling
• digital collectibles
• mini program transactions
• creator payouts

The platform is designed around programmable commerce and frictionless fan engagement.

Technology Stack

Ole Ole is being built as a native Rust platform focused on:

• scalability
• performance
• real-time communication
• low-latency systems
• global infrastructure
• payments
• social engagement
• video delivery

The company is also building:

• AI translation systems
• football history AI infrastructure
• developer platforms
• mini program tooling
• programmable payment rails

The Long-Term Vision

Ole Ole's long-term vision is to become the global operating system for football fans:

• social networking
• communication
• commerce
• gaming
• gambling
• content
• ticketing
• rewards
• programmable fan experiences

all inside one interconnected ecosystem.
