About Koyote Capital
Koyote Capital is a New York-based multi-strategy investment firm with a long history of backing trading talent across liquid markets.
The Role
We are looking to add a senior trader to our team. This role is built for an experienced trader with a defined edge, a repeatable process, and the discipline to manage risk at scale. The ideal candidate has a strong track record, clear views on where they generate alpha, and the maturity to operate independently within a defined risk framework.

What We're Looking For
- Significant experience trading equities, options, futures, ETFs, or other liquid products
- An audited or attributable track record at a hedge fund, multi-manager platform, prop trading firm, market-making firm, or bank trading desk
- Ability to clearly articulate your edge and investment process
- Discipline around sizing, drawdowns, and capacity
- Independent thinking and clear, differentiated views
- Comfort operating in a fast-moving, performance-driven environment
- Strong work ethic and a genuine passion for markets
A documented track record is strongly preferred. We are open to non-traditional backgrounds where the candidate can demonstrate sustained trading ability, discipline, and strong market intuition.
What We Offer
- Meaningful day-one capital allocation
- Tier 1 prime brokerage and execution infrastructure
- Centralized risk and operations support
- Top-of-market payout structure
- A lean, experienced investment team
