Company mission
To make startup finances easy. With automated financial tools that help founders plan effectively and collaborate seamlessly with investors.
Role
Who you are
- We're looking for someone who's comfortable going outside their comfort zone and wearing many different hats
- Strong experience building web applications is essential; if you've built them from scratch, that's even better
- 6+ years of fullstack development experience
- Expertise in Python (with Django framework experience preferred) and Typescript (with React framework experience preferred)
- Strong record of building and delivering web applications
- Expertise in modern infrastructure (Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, CircleCI, etc.) preferred, but not required
- Understanding and adherence to modern software development practices (Gitflow, continuous integration, peer reviews, etc.)
What the job involves
- We're looking to add a senior-level fullstack engineer to our team
- There's an opportunity to have a big impact at this early stage, not only on the core product but also on the culture and direction of the company
- Design, architect, and build Standard Metrics’ core product as a member of the engineering team
- Take ownership of entire outcomes, and continue to support and grow them through iteration, documentation, and bug fixes. We do not have a QA team
- Collaborate with the product team in scoping and defining the features that will best help the company achieve the outcomes aligned with our goals and the values we believe in
- Be an active contributor to the company culture and future hiring efforts
Our take
For startups, finding a successful business model and streamlining investors is often the key to building a scalable company. But without early backing from investment organisations and entrepreneurs, many companies fail to get off the ground and don't reach the potential they could have achieved given the right funding.
Standard Metrics (formerly known as Quaestor) is an investment platform for startups and investors in the private capital markets. Using automated data, Standard Metrics is enabling financial transparency between startups and investors and empowering founders to make better decisions when scaling their companies.
Having led successful funding rounds with investors such as 8VC, Alpha Edison, January Capital, and First Trust Capital Partners, Standard Metrics is using the capital gained to further develop its software platform and scale its network of investors and private companies, both domestically and internationally.

Company benefits
- Health and dental insurance: We cover you and your family's health/dental insurance 100%
- Flexible vacation: Take time off when you need it! We find most employs take 3-4 weeks in addition to holidays, but there are no firm rules. We trust our employees to know what's best for them
- Paid parental leave: 12 weeks of paid leave for all new parents
- Complete transparency: Everyone has full access to business metrics and financial information about the company
- Quarterly offsites: While we are a remote first company, and we build our communication, processes, and structures with a dispersed workforce in mind, we also love getting the team together. Once a quarter we fly the whole team out to San Francisco to plan, bond, and innovate
Company values
- Velocity: We are like a shark; if we don’t swim forward, we die. We have to make difficult decisions, shoot for big outcomes, and work incredibly hard to rapidly advance our company and build a moat to competition
- Founder Mentality: We focus relentlessly on helping entrepreneurs to build better businesses with the support of their investors. We are entrepreneurs ourselves, and every member of our team thinks like a founder. No one is too important to sweep the floor, and everyone’s help is needed to move our business forward
- Excellence: We strive for excellence in everything we produce through passionate craftsmanship and attention to detail. First moments matter. We go above and beyond to make our customers successful on the platform
- First Principles Thinking: In order to build towards the future, we need to challenge existing assumptions. We avoid analogies and seek the truth, and we build systems to help us do so. We document everything to help support our team’s distributed communication and learning
- Transparency: We believe in high transparency, which manifests itself in our product philosophy as well as the way we run our team. We are transparent internally about how things are going in every facet of our business. We are transparent with each other about concerns and feedback
