Large-Cap Options Trader (Remote, Funded) — Fort Worth, TX

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. The role rewards traders who want clean execution, scalable size, and the operational benefits that come with deep option markets (penny-wide spreads, weekly expirations, full strike grids). Fort Worth, TX: Fort Worth is paired with Dallas in the DFW metro but has its own distinct financial industry - anchored by American Airlines, Lockheed Martin's defense operations, and a strong energy-and-ranching financial sector. Central Time alignment and Texas tax environment make it a popular base for traders who want DFW access without Dallas pricing. What you'll trade: 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. Risk framework: 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. Why Maverick funds this role: 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 #J-18808-Ljbffr Maverick Trading
