Who We Are

Travoom is currently paused as we focus entirely on building OleOle - a football-focused social network, messaging platform, and sports super app designed for the world's biggest sport.

At the same time, continues to operate as our curated football travel and hospitality marketplace, offering premium fan experiences around the biggest matches and tournaments in the world.

Both platforms are strategically connected:
• OleOle is the fan engagement, social, messaging, and content platform
• is the commerce and travel experiences platform

Together, they are designed to create a complete football ecosystem for fans globally.

What We're Building

OleOle is building a next-generation football platform combining:
• Social networking and microblogging
• Messaging and mobile calls
• TikTok-style short-form video
• Live scores and match experiences
• AI-powered football history and statistics
• Real-time global fan engagement

We believe football deserves its own dedicated platform - not a small section buried inside general-purpose social networks.

Football is the world's biggest sport with more than 3 billion fans globally, yet no company has successfully built a true digital home for football supporters.

OleOle is designed to become that platform.

Why It Matters

Football fandom is global, emotional, tribal, and active every day of the year.

Yet today, the fan experience remains fragmented across disconnected social platforms, messaging apps, score apps, news sites, ticketing sites, and travel providers.

Fans move constantly between products that were never built specifically for football culture or football communities.

We believe supporters are looking for a place to truly "kick off" - a platform designed around how football fans actually communicate, follow matches, consume content, travel, and engage with their clubs and national teams.

Why We're Different

removes the complexity from planning football travel experiences by combining curated ticketing, hospitality, lodging, and travel experiences into one streamlined platform.

OleOle extends that vision much further - creating a football-first platform built specifically around fan identity, conversation, live interaction, creator content, and global football culture.

This is not another generic sports app.

We are building a dedicated football ecosystem that combines social networking, messaging, content, live experiences, and commerce into a single connected platform.

• Messaging and mobile calls
• AI-powered translation and football history
• 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.

Core Areas You May Own

• Social feeds and microblogging experiences
• Real-time messaging and notification systems
• TikTok-style video interfaces and engagement flows
• Live score and match interaction experiences
• Football history and SEO-driven content systems
• Shared component systems and frontend infrastructure
• Real-time data rendering and state management
• Mobile-first responsive experiences across web and native applications

What You'll Be Responsible For

• Architecting scalable frontend systems across web and mobile
• Building reusable, maintainable UI components and frontend infrastructure
• Developing high-performance real-time user experiences
• Collaborating closely with backend engineers on APIs, event systems, and real-time workflows
• Optimizing rendering performance, responsiveness, and frontend scalability
• Contributing to frontend architecture, standards, and engineering direction
• Helping establish long-term frontend engineering culture and technical quality

What We're Looking For

• 7-12+ years of frontend or full-stack engineering experience
• Strong experience building complex consumer-facing products at scale
• Deep understanding of modern frontend architecture and performance optimization
• Strong experience with React, Next.js, TypeScript, and modern frontend tooling
• Experience building real-time applications, feeds, messaging systems, or high-engagement products
• Strong understanding of responsive design, frontend state management, and rendering performance
• Experience collaborating closely with product, design, and backend engineering teams
• Ability to operate independently with high ownership and minimal hand-holding
• Strong engineering judgment and ability to balance speed with long-term maintainability

Nice to Have

• Experience with SSR and SEO-focused frontend architecture
• Experience building video-heavy or media-rich products
• Experience with WebSockets, streaming, or event-driven systems
• Experience working alongside Rust backend infrastructure
• Experience with AI-driven consumer experiences
• Startup experience building products from zero to one
• Passion for football, sports media, or global fan communities

What Makes Someone Successful in This Role

• You have personally built and operated production frontend systems
• You care deeply about performance, usability, and user experience quality
• You can explain technical decisions and tradeoffs clearly
• You understand how consumer products scale technically and operationally
• You focus on practical engineering over unnecessary complexity
• You are comfortable working in ambiguous, fast-moving startup environments
• You value ownership, simplicity, and execution

We value real-world product experience, technical depth, and ownership significantly more than keyword-heavy resumes.
