Company Description

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.
 

Job Description

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

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.
