Notes
  • 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.
