Large-Cap Options Trader (Remote, Funded) — Boston, MA

A large-cap options trader at Maverick focuses on the most liquid US-listed names — the S&P 100 universe and a handful of additional names with comparable option volume.

Boston is the third-largest asset-management center in the US — Fidelity, State Street, MFS, Wellington, and Putnam are all headquartered here, and the mutual-fund industry as a category was largely invented in the city. Eastern Time alignment with the NYSE is clean, and the academic ecosystem (Harvard, MIT, Boston University) feeds the local quant-trader labor market.

Single-name large-cap options across directional, defined-risk neutral, and event-driven strategies. The universe is intentionally narrow — typically 30–60 names a trader covers actively — but the depth of each market lets traders run larger positions than would be feasible in mid-caps.

Large-cap options markets are deep but not bulletproof — earnings, macro shocks, and single-name news can still produce 5%+ overnight moves. Maverick caps per-name notional, per-name vega, and portfolio-level Greeks exposure.

Large-cap options are the most institutional segment of US options markets. Maverick funds traders here because the strategies scale — what works in one name can be sized up across the entire watchlist — and the operational quality of the markets supports professional execution.

Traders who prefer depth of expertise over breadth — knowing 40 names well, not 400 superficially People who think in Greeks first, price second Candidates who have already run an options book and understand portfolio-level risk Traders who appreciate clean execution and tight spreads
