Tech Sector Momentum Trader (Remote, Funded) — Columbus, OH
Maverick Trading
Columbus
Job description
A tech sector momentum trader at Maverick runs a concentrated book within US technology equities — semiconductors, software, cloud infrastructure, AI-adjacent names, and the mega-cap tech leaders. The role rewards traders who already follow tech earnings cycles, product release dynamics, and the rotation between sub-sectors.
Columbus, OH
Columbus hosts the largest concentration of financial-services employment in the Midwest outside Chicago — Nationwide Insurance is headquartered here, JPMorgan has tens of thousands of employees, and the metro is one of the largest banking back-office centers in the country. Eastern Time alignment with the NYSE is clean, and the cost of living is among the lowest of any Eastern-Time US metro.
What you'll trade
US tech equities across the cap spectrum: mega-cap leaders for stability and option liquidity, mid-cap semis and software for momentum, and selective small-cap names with real fundamental stories rather than meme volume. Sector ETFs (XLK, SOXX, IGV, SMH) for thematic exposure and hedging.
Risk framework
Tech is a high-beta sector — concentrated tech books move 1.5–2x the S&P on bad days. Maverick caps sector concentration at the portfolio level and requires either defined hedges (puts, ETF shorts) or smaller individual position sizes to compensate. We do not run leveraged-tech books.
Why Maverick funds this role
Tech is the most-traded sector in US markets and one of the most volatile. Maverick funds focused tech traders because concentrated expertise in a single sector — knowing the names, the cycle, the customers — outperforms diversified-but-shallow approaches.
- Traders who already read tech earnings, product launches, and conference circuits as part of their daily routine
- People who can distinguish a real fundamental story from a momentum chase
- Candidates who understand sub-sector rotation — semis lead, software follows, etc.
- Traders comfortable with high volatility and high single-day drawdowns
