Alibek Orazalin has four listed quantitative-finance roles: Quantitative Research Intern at GSA (2024-2025), Quantitative Developer at Citadel Securities (2023), Quantitative Researcher at Squarepoint Capital (2023), and Site Reliability Engineer at Citadel Securities (2022). Identity is supported by a LinkedIn profile matching the Olympiad identity anchor (HKUST mathematics, Hong Kong) and by the IMO official record for Kazakhstan 2019.

NOTE: the role list is index/enrichment-derived; no employer or ATS page independently names Orazalin, so the roles are corroborated only by the profile index, not by primary employer confirmation.Sep 17, 2026
