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
Novig is building the prediction market of the future, and the interface is where users experience it. On a platform built around real money and real-time markets, every interaction has to feel fast, intuitive, and trustworthy. You'll own the client-side experiences across Novig's web and mobile applications, working closely with Design and Product to ship interfaces that hold up under scrutiny. This isn't just implementation work. You'll have a real say in frontend architecture, integrate tightly with backend services, and bring strong product instincts to how the market gets presented and experienced by users.

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.”

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.
