Tech Sector Momentum Trader (Remote, Funded) — San Francisco, CA

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.

San Francisco hosts the largest concentration of asset management on the West Coast - Black Rock has its tech operations here, Wells Fargo is headquartered in the city, and Charles Schwab is headquartered in nearby Westlake. The technology industry overlap matters for traders focused on tech equities. Pacific Time means a 6:30am market open.

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.

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.

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
