Software developer

As a programmer at Fog Creek Software, you will help design, develop, and implement the code for our award winning products.

We do not hire based on a specific list of buzzwords, technologies, or popular acronyms on your resume. Today we happen to use Wasabi, JavaScript, xhtml and CSS, and C++ to build FogBugz, but Python and .NET are likely to be important in the future. We use C++ and Objective C for Copilot. We have server systems in C# and legacy code in VBScript. Tomorrow we may be using something different.

Whatever technologies, languages, or development environments you've been using, we expect you have mastered them in depth, and we expect that you will be able to master any technology, language, or development environment that we need in the future.

Requirements

  • Incredible coding skills. Your friends and coworkers describe you as an "animal." Your programming ability is way above average, as demonstrated by a continuous string of successful projects.
  • Excellent command of written and spoken English
  • Permanent legal right to work in the US
  • May involve work after normal business hours, and being on-call
  • This position is in our office in midtown New York. No telecommuting.
