About The Position

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. Novig recently became a CFTC-designated market, the fastest designation of its kind in US history, and is bringing the prediction market built for sports fans nationwide. 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. You sit where sports meets markets. A star goes down in the third quarter, a trade rumor breaks at 11pm, a coach gets fired on a Tuesday - you decide what fans get to bet on and how fast it goes live. You shape the featured markets at the top of the app, take prop requests straight from the Discord, and list new ones while the conversation's still hot. You work when sports actually happen: game nights, Sunday afternoons, the overtime that runs past midnight. We're building sports prediction markets from scratch, and you get to decide what that looks like. This role lives at the intersection of trading, product, and sports with the opportunity to contribute at all levels of the business.
