New York, New York, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJan Buzek is a trader and Computer Science & Mathematics student at the University of Washington with a decade of programming and quantitative experience and a 3.98 GPA. He blends rigorous math—research on cryptographically-sized twin-smooth integers—with practical software engineering, having shipped internal tools at Amazon and built end-to-end systems with databases, testing, and UI. Currently studying abroad at ETH Zürich and previously at Heidelberg, he brings international academic breadth to his trading work and returns to Jane Street after a trading internship. His background as a TA for formal probability and hands-on research gives him both pedagogical clarity and deep analytical instincts. Based in New York, he focuses on high-integrity, scalable solutions that bridge theory and production in low-latency trading environments. An unusual strength is his ability to move from number-theoretic research to production-grade services used by dozens of release managers.
