Job Description

About the Role

We’re looking for a senior frontend engineer with deep experience in web and mobile development to help build the core user interface for OleOle’s platform. You’ll work directly with our design and backend engineering leads to bring the product to life across browsers and mobile apps — from login and feed mechanics to video features, real-time messaging, and beyond.

This is a hands-on role ideal for someone who’s worked in fast-paced startup environments, thrives in ambiguity, and is excited about building something from scratch.

Responsibilities

• Develop responsive, high-performance UIs for web and mobile (iOS/Android) using modern frameworks
• Work closely with UX/UI designers to translate Figma designs into functional components
• Collaborate with backend and AI teams to integrate APIs, real-time data (e.g., live scores), and content translation tools
• Own implementation of key features including:
  • Twitter-style microblogging
  • WhatsApp-style messaging
  • TikTok-style short video and creation tools
• Optimize for speed, scale, and seamless UX across platforms
• Write clean, reusable, and well-documented code
• Participate in sprint planning, architectural decisions, and long-term roadmap discussions

Compensation

This role is currently unpaid with deferred compensation until we close our upcoming funding round (in progress). Once funded, this will convert into a full-time paid position with competitive salary and meaningful equity.

Qualifications

What We're Looking For

• 7–8 years professional experience in frontend engineering
• Strong experience with:
  • React (web) and React Native (mobile)
  • Typescript, HTML5, CSS3, Tailwind or similar
  • Mobile app deployment (App Store + Play Store)
  • Webpack, Vite, or similar build tools
• Demonstrated startup experience: you’ve worked in lean teams and shipped MVPs
• Strong understanding of mobile UX/UI principles
• Bonus if you’ve worked on video editing/streaming, real-time messaging, or multilingual apps
• Comfortable working in an agile environment with limited resources
• Excited by a mission-driven product that brings people together through football

Additional Information

• Creative problem solver who can courageously propose and support new ideas to our organization. Not interested in best practices, lets build something better!
• Ability to adapt. An ideal candidate will welcome the opportunity to solve a broad range of problems using a wide array of technologies.
• Comfortable with ambiguity, shifting priorities and general growing pains of an early-stage technology company
• An exceptional entrepreneurial judgment that fosters independence over micro-management
• Understanding of football and international sports a huge plus

Ole Ole is located in beautiful Austin Texas, however, this role requires some travel we are privately held and rapidly growing!
