CTO (Possible Co-Founder): OleOle

OleOle 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. The vision is to create a next-generation social network and messaging platform designed exclusively for the world’s 3+ billion football fans, built natively using Rust, Blockchain, and AI/ML. At the center of the ecosystem is the upcoming crypto token, OleX, which will power transactions, rewards, and platform growth.



About the Role:
We are seeking a hands-on, technical, and strategic CTO, with the potential for a co-founder role, to own the core technology strategy of OleOle and lead its execution from day one. You will define and build the platform's architecture, oversee engineering direction, and help shape the company’s long-term roadmap. This is not a management-only position; you will be rolling up your sleeves and building alongside the founding team.

Key Responsibilities:

Design and lead the development of the native Rust backend, including APIs, microservices, and system architecture.

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.

Lead, mentor, and coach a young, global, remote engineering team.

Ensure security, scalability, and performance across all systems, especially in crypto and gambling environments.

Partner with the CEO to align technical goals with the company’s global vision.

Qualifications:

7-10+ years of experience as a CTO, with a proven track record of leading engineering at early-stage startups.

Strong technical expert and active coder with a deep background in Rust.

Experience leading, mentoring, and motivating distributed remote teams across multiple time zones.

Willing to work for deferred compensation on a sweat equity model until funding closes.

Prior experience with blockchain, token-based platforms, or ICOs is a significant plus.

Access to capital or investor connections is highly desirable but not required.
