Job description

Maverick Trading is hiring a fully remote Equity & Options Trader open to applicants in Troy, AL. We are a proprietary trading firm with 25+ years of experience training and funding professional traders, and we allocate firm capital to disciplined candidates who can demonstrate consistency and risk discipline.

This is not a challenge account. Not a demo evaluation. We provide structured capital allocation for traders who want a professional path to scaling capital.

Why Options?

Options allow traders to define risk, hedge exposures, and structure trades beyond simple directional stock positions. Maverick is one of the few proprietary trading firms that actively trades options as a core part of its trading approach.

Why Southeast

The Southeast — from Atlanta to Miami to Charlotte — has become a serious financial corridor over the last decade, with major bank operations, sovereign-wealth offices, and a growing community of independent traders.

Local time zone: Central Time (CT). Trade US markets from your local time — the NYSE opens at 8:30am Central and closes mid-afternoon.

The Southeast Edge

Alabama's financial industry centers on Birmingham — Regions Financial is headquartered there, and BBVA's US operations historically anchored a meaningful regional banking presence. The state is Central Time, which means an 8:30am market open and a manageable trading schedule.

Trading Responsibilities

• Trade equities and options within defined risk parameters
• Follow a structured, rules-based risk management approach
• Build consistency and scale capital based on performance

The Offer

• Trade firm capital
• Performance-based scaling
• Profit split: 65%–90%
• Remote flexibility (U.S. applicants)

What We're Looking For

• Trading experience preferred (equities and/or options)
• Strong risk discipline and consistency mindset
• Independent decision-making and accountability
