Tech Sector Momentum Trader (Remote, Funded) — Los Angeles, 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. Los Angeles, CA: Los Angeles is the second-largest financial center in the country by a number of measures — Capital Group, TCW, PIMCO, Oaktree, and dozens of independent funds are headquartered in the LA/Pasadena/Newport Beach corridor. Pacific Time means the market opens before most of LA wakes up; the trade-off is a clean afternoon free by 1pm. Many of our West Coast traders prefer this rhythm explicitly. 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 #J-18808-Ljbffr Maverick Trading
