Options Income Trader (Remote, Funded) — Miami, FL

An options income trader at Maverick generates cash flow by selling premium in a defined-risk framework. This is not naked option selling, and it is not a martingale strategy that blows up on a single bad week. The role is built for traders who think in terms of probability, expected value, and management rules over individual directional bets. Miami, FL: Miami has become one of the fastest-growing financial centers in the country - Citadel relocated its headquarters from Chicago to Miami, ARK Investment Management moved to St. Petersburg, and a wave of hedge funds and asset managers have followed. Eastern Time alignment with the NYSE, and Florida has no state income tax. What you'll trade: Credit spreads on liquid US equities and ETFs, cash-secured puts on names the trader would be willing to own, and covered calls on equity positions held in the firm's book. Trades are sized based on max-loss, not premium collected. Underlyings must clear liquidity screens - wide bid-ask spreads are an automatic disqualifier. Risk framework: Premium-selling looks profitable until it isn't. Maverick's risk framework caps max loss per spread, total notional exposure, and beta-weighted portfolio delta. Tail-risk events (8 sigma moves) are anticipated, not denied - we expect a few rough months a year and size so they don't end careers. Why Maverick funds this role: Premium-selling done right is one of the most consistent income strategies in markets - and one of the easiest to ruin with bad sizing. Maverick built this role around traders who already think in probabilities and want firm capital deployed against a strategy that pays steady cash flow when risk is managed. The 65-90% profit split applies to net P&L after the inevitable rough months. Traders who understand 'probability of profit' is not the same as 'expected return' People who can follow mechanical management rules without overriding them mid-trade Candidates with a quantitative mindset - comfortable thinking in distributions Traders who don't need every position to win to feel like the strategy is working #J-18808-Ljbffr Maverick Trading
