Standard Metrics, formerly known as Quaestor, is an automated financial collaboration platform that helps investors and founders to move faster together and make better, forward-facing decisions. We’re a full-time team of product builders, investors, and optimists, rebuilding investor relations from the ground up. Standard Metrics is backed by 8VC and Spark Capital along with other leading software VCs and angels and is currently a trusted resource for many of the top venture capital firms in the world.

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. While many of us are working from home or remotely, we’re prioritizing candidates based in the San Francisco Bay Area for now.
