Honourable Mention, IOI 2023 (New Zealand)Winner, NZPC 2023 School Squad (Rangitoto College)Computer Science, University Of Cambridge (index-listed)
Jonathon Sun is a computer science student at the University of Cambridge, having previously studied computer science at the University of Auckland. As a Year 13 student at Rangitoto College he represented New Zealand at the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) 2023 in Szeged, Hungary, receiving an honourable mention, and won the 2023 New Zealand Programming Contest school squad category with Rangitoto. His listed experience includes Jane Street's First Year Trading & Tech Program, Discover Citadel, a fellowship at Non-Trivial, and co-chairing the Upper Harbour Youth Council; a LinkedIn headline indexed by search also shows 'SWE Intern @ Citadel'.
- Quant employment verification: UNRESOLVED. The only evidence of Jane Street is the 'First Year Trading & Tech Program' (a student program, which does not qualify) plus an untitled 'Jane Street' caller listing. Citadel appears as 'Discover Citadel' (a student insight program, non-qualifying) and as 'SWE Intern' in a search-indexed LinkedIn headline. Jane Street and Citadel (via Citadel Securities) do operate in quantitative trading/market-making. Identity is supported (Cambridge CS + NZ IOI 2023 matches the target profile), but no primary source directly confirms a quant internship, and the SWE-intern claim rests on a search snippet rather than the profile page itself - so the status is UNRESOLVED pending direct confirmation.
- Represented New Zealand at IOI 2023 (Szeged, Hungary) as a Rangitoto College Year 13 and received an honourable mention, alongside Phoebe Zhang who won bronze.Sep 2023
- A Google-indexed version of the LinkedIn headline reads 'Jonathon Sun - SWE Intern @ Citadel | CS @ Cambridge', which points to an actual Citadel software-engineering internship rather than a student program - the strongest quant-relevant employment signal found, though only at search-snippet level.
- CAUTION (index-only): the enrichment index lists the employer as Jane Street, but this may be stale and derives from the same student-program listing - current employment must not be inferred from it.
