About the Firm

Our Work Culture
We are a meritocracy in the truest sense: results drive everything. Whether you are based in a major city or a small town, whether you trade pre‑market or overnight, what matters is performance. Our culture celebrates traders who put in the work and let the numbers speak.
Location & Remote Work
This position is listed for candidates in the Wichita, KS area. While this is a fully remote role and you will work from your own location, we welcome applicants who are based in or near Wichita. All you need is a reliable computer and internet connection to get started.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
