Notes
  • Quant employment verification: UNRESOLVED. Identity is supported (IOI 2018 Poland + IOI-listed Codeforces shadowatyy + University of Warsaw match the LinkedIn/index record), but the two quant-leaning employment leads (Jane Street SWE Intern 2022; NXT Capital BV Intern Software Developer 2021) come only from the LinkedIn/index enrichment, not from a primary company source. Employer classification: Jane Street IS a quantitative trading firm (confirmed, janestreet.com); NXT Capital BV (Amsterdam) describes in-house derivatives trading strategies (a trading firm), separate from the US direct lender of the same name. CONFIRMED requires a real role plus supported identity; student programs alone do not qualify; here the roles are index-only, so classify UNRESOLVED.Sep 2026
  • Index-only (ClickHouse/LinkedIn) claim: Software Engineer Intern at Jane Street, London (2022). Not confirmed on a primary Jane Street source; treat as index-only.2022

NXT Capital B.V. was incorporated in 2019 per Creditsafe, so the 2021 internship postdates formation.2024
