About Novig
Novig is building America's #1 sports prediction market. Founded by Jacob Fortinsky and Kelechi Ukah, we are the only platform to offer commission-free sports trading. 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 over $100M from some of Silicon Valley’s top investors including Pantera, Forerunner, Lux, NFX, Paul Graham, and Joe Montana.
Who we are
We’re here to fix a rigged system where the house always wins and sports fans always lose. Novig is building the future of sports betting. Our mission is to financialize and democratize sports betting - transforming it from a closed, casino-controlled system into a two-sided, fair, efficient market where users have the power.
Who you are and why this role will excite you

Experienced in directly managing regulatory examinations, audits, and inquiries — including preparation of materials, coordination of responses, and engagement with regulators
Energized by partnering cross-functionally with Information Security (cybersecurity and systems controls), Surveillance (market monitoring and abuse prevention), Finance and Regulatory Finance (financial resource requirements and reporting), Legal (regulatory interpretation and external counsel coordination), and Engineering and Product to embed regulatory requirements directly into systems and workflows
Interested in supporting regulatory initiatives and future expansion, including preparation for potential DCO Core Principle compliance
Confident representing the organization externally with regulators, policymakers, trade associations, and industry participants in coordination with the Chief Regulatory Officer
Thrive in a hands-on leadership role where seniority means thoughtful execution, ownership, and close collaboration with a high-performing team
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.
