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
The Novig Finance team is lean and deeply integrated with all parts of the business. From banking platforms, payment processors, marketing partners, investors, regulators, and more, we drive the fund flows and number crunching that runs the company.
From day one, you’ll own critical workstreams and be empowered to build workflows that scale. You’ll own payments, vendor relations, cash reconciliations, and support other operational and reporting workstreams that keep the business running. This role is highly cross-functional. You will work closely with all departments to simply Get Things Done! We’re looking for someone excited to dig into the financial details and be execution oriented.
You’ll have access to the best-in-class modern financial tools and platforms, and we are dedicated to building the best financial stack in the industry.
Who you are and what you will do
Own full-cycle accounts payable, invoice coding, vendor setup & KYB, and payment runs across multi-entity structure
Track and reconcile customer funds flows and processor settlements against internal records
Perform bank reconciliations across multi-entity accounts and flag discrepancies for review
Support the preparation of multi-entity financial statements and ad hoc analyses, as well as the monthly close process
Analyze financial performance and operations and implement optimization processes
Advise and execute buildout of financial reporting dashboards in collaboration with Data and Engineering
Support external audits, third party requests, and regulatory reporting
Liaise with state and local agencies for registrations and tax filings
2-3 years of experience in accounting, finance operations, or finance at a high-growth startup or trading exchange
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.

About Novig
At Novig, we have reimagined the sports betting landscape by building a sweepstakes-based sports prediction market. Our innovative platform allows users to engage in sports predictions without traditional gambling constraints. By leveraging the sweepstakes model, we ensure compliance with regulatory requirements while providing a unique, engaging, and profitable experience for our users. Our goal is to make sports prediction more accessible, fair, and enjoyable. Novig’s founders, Jacob and Kelechi, are recent Harvard grads with experience at Jane St & BoA who started Novig with the belief that a commission-free P2P exchange model will replace the exploitative and unprofitable betting model of traditional sportsbooks. They themselves were sophisticated sports bettors who grew increasingly frustrated by the latency, discriminatory practices, monotony, and non-profitability of the retail sports betting experience. As the regulatory landscape evolves in the United States, Novig is positioned to become a leading innovator with our unique focus on research and technology.
Technology
We're building the first high-frequency sports prediction trading platform. Stack: mobile app in React Native; backend exchange and trading components in Java; database layer in PostgreSQL, Mongo, S3. We’re a nimble team of researchers, engineers, statisticians, and other flavors of nerd who want to tackle some of the most challenging open-ended problems at the intersection of sports, game theory, and technology. If you enjoy solving hard interdisciplinary problems, then you’ll enjoy working at Novig.
