• Quant employment verification: UNRESOLVED. The only evidence of quantitative-finance employment is index-only: LinkedIn enrichment (identity taiga-1317558969) for https://linkedin.com/in/rafael-nascimento-soares lists a current Software Engineer Intern role at Jane Street (start 2026-05) and a past Software Engineer Intern role at Two Sigma (Jun-Aug 2025). No independent primary source (company page, press, resume) confirming any role was obtained; LinkedIn itself blocked scraping (403). Both employers are quantitative trading firms (Jane Street and Two Sigma are proprietary/quantitative trading and investment firms), but the roles are software-engineering internships, not explicitly quant-research or trading roles. The identity linkage between the IOI competitor (confirmed primary) and this LinkedIn profile rests on the exact name match only, so CONFIRMED is not warranted.2026
