Software Development, Software Engineer, Java Developer

Position: Come Work for Us
We have no current advertised openings, but don't let that stop you from inquiring. If you're interested in working for us as a software developer or content editor, we'd like to hear from you. Send your résumé (PDF please) to us at  We may not have an advertised opening, but we try to keep an open mind about highly qualified people.

Any openings we do have will be for work out of our office in Marion, IA. You must be a US citizen or eligible to work in US without sponsorship.

Developers

We look for people with strong object-oriented programming skills in JavaScript, Java, C++, or C# who have a passion for the Bible and a desire to do something of significance with their Computer Science degree.

Content Editors

Much of our editorial work involves creating custom scripts to process text in a variety of formats. You need a deep understanding of regular expressions and the basics of a language like Python, Perl, or JavaScript (Node.js).

What It's Like Here

Laridian is a small company that has varied in size over the years - from as few as 1 to as many as 10 employees. We outsource a lot of the mundane businessy stuff, but we really prefer to employ full-time, in-house programmers and editors to write the apps and tag the books that our customers depend on.

Our founders created Laridian to be a place where they (and the people who work here) could enjoy working. We don't set hard and fast deadlines. We like to let the work itself motivate us, not the threat of getting fired for missing a deadline.

We use Macs here. Even if you end up developing for Windows, you'll probably do that on a shiny new Mac running Windows in a VM under Parallels.

While you'll be working at our office here in Marion, we spent the first 12-13 years of our company's history working out of our homes and from coffee shops - so we're not averse to doing that as a change of pace from time to time. But most of the time you'll be at the office. We have a second-floor suite with original 19th-century brick walls and wood plank floors overlooking the main street in historic downtown Marion.
