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 Novig recently becoming a CFTC-designated market — the fastest designation of its kind in US history— we're 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.

About the Role

This is a startup, so the role won't stay static. You will own IT end-to-end, including devices, network, AV, and general sysadmin work, with real say in how it evolves. You will also work closely with security, so this role suits someone who wants their IT work to have a security-minded component. The scope of this position will grow along with the company.

Who you are and what you will do

  • Manage our device fleet, including provisioning, patching, inventory, and support for a growing team

  • Administer our network infrastructure: routers, switches, Wi-Fi, firewalls, and general security hygiene

  • Run our AV setup for meetings and events, and manage relationships with AV vendors

  • Handle core sysadmin work, including user accounts, permissions, backups, and system monitoring

  • Help assist with the management of our HVAC system and vendor

  • Partner closely with security on endpoint protection, access controls, and policy

  • Serve as the go-to person for IT support, troubleshooting quickly and clearly without a large team behind you

Why work here, in the words of the people who do

“I work with extremely stellar people, I own real systems, and decisions happen fast. No politics, no waiting for needless red tape. If something's broken, I fix it. If I build something good, it ships.”

“The people! They're smart, thoughtful, fun to work with and passionate about their craft.”

“I'm having the most fun I've had in my entire career.”

If you want responsibility, trust, and the chance to help build the future of sports prediction markets - take your shot, we’d love to connect.

Not for everyone

  • Our work is tied to live sports - that means potential nights, weekends, and pressure included.

  • If you need clear swim lanes, a heavy process, or someone to tell you what to do, this won’t be the right environment.

Compensation & benefits

  • $70k – $90k base, benchmarked at top-tier tech companies

  • Meaningful equity for every employee, regardless of role

  • 100% health premiums covered

  • 99% dental & vision covered

  • 401(k) with 4% company match

  • HSA + $1,080 annual company contribution

  • $50/monthly company contribution to employee transit

  • $27/day lunch stipend when working from our NYC office

At Novig, we have reimagined the sports betting landscape by building a sweepstakes-based sports prediction market. Our innovative platform allows users to engage in sports predictions without traditional gambling constraints. By leveraging the sweepstakes model, we ensure compliance with regulatory requirements while providing a unique, engaging, and profitable experience for our users. Our goal is to make sports prediction more accessible, fair, and enjoyable.

Novig’s founders, Jacob and Kelechi, are recent Harvard grads with experience at Jane St & BoA who started Novig with the belief that a commission-free P2P exchange model will replace the exploitative and unprofitable betting model of traditional sportsbooks. They themselves were sophisticated sports bettors who grew increasingly frustrated by the latency, discriminatory practices, monotony, and non-profitability of the retail sports betting experience.

As the regulatory landscape evolves in the United States, Novig is positioned to become a leading innovator with our unique focus on research and technology.
