About Novig

Novig is building America's #1 sports prediction market. Our mission is to financialize and democratize sports trading - taking a closed system run by casinos and turning it into a fair, efficient, two-sided market where the power sits with users. With CFTC approval on the horizon, we're poised to go live across all 50 states as the leading sports-focused, federally regulated market built on trust, transparency, and real user protection. We're backed by some of Silicon Valley's top investors — Pantera, Forerunner, Lux, NFX, Paul Graham, and Joe Montana — who have collectively invested over $100M behind this vision.

About the Role

Few jobs let you turn a lifelong obsession with sports into a real edge in a live market. This one does. You'll be on the book when it matters most: the Sunday slate, the buzzer-beater, the injury report that drops ten minutes before tip-off. Every event is a new puzzle, and every shift in order flow is a chance to prove your read was better than the field's. You'll sit close to the quants and engineers building the tools you trade on, with room to push back, improve the models, and shape how we run markets. If you've ever watched a game and known you saw something the market missed, this is where that instinct goes to work.
