AI Automation Engineer

$200K – $230K • meaningful equity

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.

This is the role for someone who sees AI as a multiplier and knows how to build the infrastructure that makes it work. You'll design the systems that let AI write, test, and ship code with minimal human intervention — and make sure those systems are airtight in production. Beyond the technical build, you'll embed yourself across the company, surfacing opportunities for automation, developing frameworks that raise the floor for everyone, and being the person teammates turn to when they want to understand what AI can do for them.

• Architect and develop advanced CI/CD workflows that support autonomous development loops

• Own end-to-end pipeline reliability, including deployment validation, observability, and feedback systems for AI-driven code iteration

• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, product, and operations teams to identify opportunities for AI-driven automation and tooling

• Develop internal “skills” and tooling frameworks to enhance productivity across engineering and other teams within the organization

• Continuously improve system performance, accuracy, and safety of AI-assisted workflows in production environments

• Be the person who shows the rest of the company what's possible with AI — running internal demos, writing up learnings, and lowering the barrier for teammates to use AI in their day-to-day work

“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.”
