Tech Sector Momentum Trader (Remote, Funded) — Milwaukee, WI

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.

Milwaukee, WI: Milwaukee hosts Northwestern Mutual's headquarters, Robert W. Baird (one of the largest middle-market investment banks), and Fiserv. The financial-services labor market is stronger than the metro's size suggests, and Central Time alignment with US markets is clean.

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
