Iron Condor Specialist (Remote, Funded Options Trader NY

An iron condor specialist at Maverick runs a focused book of defined-risk, range-bound options structures — primarily iron condors, with occasional double diagonals or butterflies when the volatility environment calls for them. The discipline is narrow on purpose: traders who do one thing well, repeatedly, with strict management rules, are exactly the profile we fund.

New York, NY: New York is the geographic and historical center of US capital markets. The NYSE, NASDAQ, every major investment bank, the bulk of hedge fund AUM, and a deep talent pool sit within a few square miles. For a trader, that means the most professional community in the world, the tightest co-location latency if you ever needed it, and a labor market where almost everyone you meet has either traded, sold to traders, or built tech for trading.

What you'll trade: Iron condors on SPX, NDX, RUT, and a watchlist of high-liquidity ETFs and large-cap names. Cycle selection is typically 30–60 days to expiration; some traders also run a weekly book on indices. Strike selection is delta-based, not arbitrary, and follows a documented framework.

Risk framework: Iron condors lose worst in fast, one-directional moves and in vol spikes. Maverick caps max loss per cycle, total open-cycle risk, and concentration in any single underlying. We don't size for a normal market; we size for the bad months, knowing they show up roughly once a year.

Why Maverick funds this role: Iron condors are one of the most popular retail options strategies — and one of the most consistently mismanaged. Maverick funds traders who do this strategy professionally: with proper sizing, disciplined adjustments, and the math worked out across the full distribution of outcomes, not just the best case.
