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.

Who you are and what you will do

• 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! 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.”
