Senior Engineer –Experienced Sportsbook & Real-Time Betting experience, startup experience

This is not a traditional engineering role.

We are specifically seeking an engineer who has built, launched, or operated a real-money sports betting platform, or played a senior role on a team responsible for core sportsbook systems.

This includes direct experience with:

• bet placement and validation
• odds and market handling
• real-time event ingestion
• settlement and payout systems
• wallet / balance integrity

We are specifically seeking an engineer who has built, launched, or operated a real-money sports betting platform, or played a senior role on a team responsible for core sportsbook systems.

This includes direct experience with:

• bet placement and validation
• odds and market handling
• real-time event ingestion
• settlement and payout systems
• wallet / balance integrity

The platform may not have succeeded commercially due to funding, licensing, or distribution challenges — that is not a concern. We are focused on hands-on experience building real systems that handle real money at scale.

This is not a theoretical or learning role.

If you have not worked directly on a live sportsbook or gambling product, this position is not a fit.

OleOle

OleOle is building a social network and messaging platform for football/soccer. In match gambling driven by live score updates is the driver of our model. 

What we do...

Overview

OleOle is building a blockchain-based sports betting platform as part of a larger football-focused ecosystem with built-in distribution, licensing strategy, and capital support.

We are looking to connect with technical founders or senior engineers who have already built a crypto-native or blockchain-enabled sports betting platform—one that is live, previously live, or production-ready—but failed to scale due to funding, customer acquisition, or licensing constraints, not technology.

This is not a greenfield build and not a standard engineering role. We are specifically seeking people who have real, working blockchain betting infrastructure and are open to folding that technology and expertise into a larger, well-capitalized organization.

This role is ideal if you have:

• Built or operated a blockchain or crypto-based sportsbook

• Hands-on experience with:

  • On-chain or hybrid (on-chain / off-chain) betting architecture

  • Smart contracts for wagers, settlement, or escrow

  • Odds feeds and oracle integrations

  • Risk management and exposure controls

  • Crypto wallets, custody, and transaction flows

  • User accounts, KYC, AML, and compliance-adjacent systems

• A platform that:

  • Reached live users, beta, or production readiness

  • Struggled due to lack of capital, liquidity, or distribution—not engineering

• Interest in integrating into a larger platform rather than rebuilding alone

We are open to solo founders, lead engineers, or small technical teams.

What This Role Is (and Is Not)

This is

• A chance to bring existing blockchain betting technology into a broader ecosystem

• A role focused on integration, scaling, and hardening production systems

• An opportunity to work with a company that will handle marketing, licensing, and growth

This is not

• A greenfield smart contract project

• A typical Web3 “dev role”

• A consulting engagement

• A pitch deck–only conversation without real code

Qualifications

Technology Focus

We are particularly interested in experience with:

• Crypto-only betting flows

• Smart contract–based settlement

• Oracle-driven odds and event resolution

• Hybrid architectures that balance on-chain trust with off-chain performance

• Secure wallet integration and transaction lifecycle management

Structure & Upside

Engagement structure will vary based on what exists today and may include:

• Technical leadership role

• Equity or revenue participation

• Technology acquisition or licensing

• Long-term role inside OleOle’s in-house gambling operation

The goal is alignment and long-term ownership—not short-term contracting.

Solutions not problems .

• 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!
