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
We're hiring a Risk Lead to sit on our Market Operations team and own day-to-day risk monitoring across the exchange. The integrity of our markets and the health of the exchange itself are everything. Mispriced markets, coordinated trading, and information asymmetry threaten fairness for every user on the platform. You'll be the person who sees it first, sizes it correctly, and decides what to do about it.
This is a hands-on, high-judgment role. You'll build the dashboards, manage the alerts, work the queue, and be on the phone with Engineering and Compliance when something moves. You'll report to the Head of Markets and work closely with Analytics, Operations, and the Fraud team.
Who you are and what you will do
-
Monitor market integrity in real time. Track activity across open markets, price movements, liquidity depth, and trading patterns. Flag mispricing, market manipulation, and suspicious or abnormal trading activity before it threatens market fairness or exchange health.
-
Build the tooling. Design and ship dashboards, alerts, and monitoring workflows that scale as we add markets, leagues, and users. You'll partner with Analytics and Engineering, but you own the spec.
