Experienced Senior Frontend / Architect (React / Next.js / SSR)

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, oleolesport.com 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 • oleolesport.com 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 oleolesport.com 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.
