About Novig
Novig is America's #1 Sports Prediction Market. Founded by Jacob Fortinsky and Kelechi Ukah, we are the only platform to offer commission-free, peer-to-peer trading on sports. 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 tens of millions of dollars from some of Silicon Valley’s top investors including Forerunner, YC, NFX, Paul Graham, and Joe Montana.
Who we are
We’re here to fix a rigged system where the house sets the rules and always wins. Novig is the future of sports markets. It’s a peer-to-peer prediction market built to be a fair and transparent alternative to traditional sportsbooks. We put users first.
Who you are and why this role will excite you
Excited to build and maintain client-side experiences for Novig’s web and mobile applications using React and React Native
Take ownership of critical user interfaces that directly impact usability, performance, and trust across the Novig marketplace
Balance functional and aesthetic design, collaborating closely with Product and Design to deliver intuitive, responsive user experiences
Diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve cross-browser and cross-platform compatibility issues across web and mobile environments
Collaborate across the stack, contributing to frontend architecture decisions and integrating with backend services and APIs
Ship high-impact features that improve user engagement and support Novig’s mission to build the leading sports marketplace
Leverage modern development tools and AI-assisted workflows to improve development velocity and code quality
Bring a passion for sports, markets, and technology, with curiosity about complex computer science challenges
Hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field
Possess 3+ years of professional experience building front-end applications
Have deep experience with TypeScript, React, and React Native; Node.js and GraphQL experience is a plus
Care about writing clean, maintainable code with strong product intuition to translate business needs into technical solutions
Communicate clearly, solve problems effectively, and thrive both independently and in fast-moving, cross-functional teams
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! 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
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
$170k – $210k 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
$27/day lunch stipend when working from our NYC office
$35/day dinner stipend when working from the NYC office after 6:30pm
Homebase
Union Square, NYC
In-person 4 days a week - we like being around each other (don’t worry there are snacks).
