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.
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.
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
“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.
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.

Novig is a sports betting platform that plans to operate as an exchange, letting bettors set their own odds and removing the house edge by charging only the biggest winners rather than all users. In the near term, it functions as an Internet sports betting operator and internal market maker, generating revenue until it can transition to a full exchange model once regulatory approval is in place. Its app in Colorado is commission-free, and it has partnerships like Intelitics, while it uses security infrastructure trusted by top trading firms to protect user data, bets, and payments. The company aims to democratize betting, expand beyond conventional bookmakers, and move to a fully regulated exchange where winnings are not capped by house margins and where fees target only top winners.
