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 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.
About the Role
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.
Who you are and what you will do
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
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.”
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.
