About the role Manuscript is a purpose built project management tool built on the powerful engine of our flagship product, FogBugz, which pioneered bug tracking.

If you work at HQ, you'll be in a brand new office, carefully and thoughtfully designed to give each person both private and collaborative work spaces. If not, you'll be part of a remote-first culture where all of our meetings are online and apps and tools like Slack, Trello and Google Hangouts are the normal way to communicate. Remote workers never end up struggling to hear a meeting where everybody in the office forgot that someone was on the other end of a speakerphone. We offer fair, competitive, and transparent pay. The range for this position is $73K to $95K and we look at factors like your experience and location to determine our offer, which comes with a comprehensive benefits package.

We'll use whatever information you choose to provide anonymously to help us improve diversity at Fog Creek! After that, rest assured your application will be read by a real, live Fog Creek Engineer (so please feel free to get as technical as you like). If we decide to move forward, we'll schedule a short call with you and a member of our technical staff to talk more about what you've done and why you're interested in the role. This interview will also be an opportunity to ask any questions you have about the role or Fog Creek in general. The next step is a take home test. We'll use it to assess your operational skills. But don't freak out! We know you're an incredibly busy individual and will work with you to find a time where you can devote no more than a couple of hours to work on it. We'll also be available to answer any questions you may have. Finally, we schedule a day of interviews with you and some other members of the Fog Creek team. We'll do this over video for the most part, but if you're local we'd be happy to have you to our office and provide lunch. We lean heavily toward task-based interviews to help us understand your skill level, strengths and possible weak areas.   Our goal isn't to have you implement complex coding structures on a whiteboard , but to see how you think and give you problems you would actually encounter at work and then have a conversation about it.
