Tech Sector Momentum Trader (Remote, Funded) — Baltimore, MD

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.

Baltimore, MD: Baltimore is home to T. Rowe Price, one of the largest active asset managers in the US, plus Legg Mason (now part of Franklin Templeton) and a meaningful biotech and medical research industry around Johns Hopkins. Eastern Time alignment with the NYSE.

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 1.52x 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
