About Novig

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.

## Who we are

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.

### Who you are and why this role will excite you

• Architect and develop advanced CI/CD workflows that support autonomous development loops
• Own end-to-end pipeline reliability, including deployment validation, observability, and feedback systems for AI-driven code iteration
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, product, and operations teams to identify opportunities for AI-driven automation and tooling
• Develop internal “skills” and tooling frameworks to enhance productivity across engineering and other teams within the organization
• Continuously improve system performance, accuracy, and safety of AI-assisted workflows in production environments
• Be the person who shows the rest of the company what's possible with AI — running internal demos, writing up learnings, and lowering the barrier for teammates to use AI in their day-to-day work

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

*“The people! So smart, thoughtful, fun to work with, passionate about their craft, etc”*

*“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
