Fraud and Risk Specialist (Nights/Weekends)
About The Position
Novig is building America's #1 sports prediction market. Founded by Jacob Fortinsky and Kelechi Ukah, we are the only platform to offer commission-free sports trading. We deliver better pricing, full transparency, and a more efficient market structure for users by eliminating the traditional sportsbook model. Backed by the best - Novig has raised over $100M from some of Silicon Valley’s top investors including Pantera, Forerunner, Lux, NFX, Paul Graham, and Joe Montana. We’re here to fix a rigged system where the house always wins and sports fans always lose. Novig is building the future of sports betting. Our mission is to financialize and democratize sports betting - transforming it from a closed, casino-controlled system into a two-sided, fair, efficient market where users have the power. You’re naturally curious. When something looks off, your instinct is to dig into the data, connect the dots, and uncover what others might miss. You enjoy investigative work. Whether it’s spotting multi-accounting schemes, bonus abuse, or suspicious betting patterns, you like unraveling complex user behaviors. You’re detail-oriented and analytical. You’re comfortable working with data, internal tools, and admin systems to identify risk and build clear, evidence-backed cases. You’re decisive under pressure. You can make thoughtful judgment calls when the stakes are high and move quickly in a fast-paced environment. You care about marketplace integrity. Protecting users and ensuring a fair, trustworthy exchange genuinely motivates you. You’re excited to help build something new. The opportunity to strengthen Novig’s fraud and risk systems—and stay one step ahead of bad actors as the exchange scales—is energizing.
