I recently went through a job search focusing on organizations doing social good. Full disclosure, I now work at Remix (https://www.remix.com/jobs https://www.remix.com/jobs) and we're hiring! We're a for-profit founded by a collection of former Code for America fellows helping to improve cities. I have a list of resources that I collected while I was searching as well: - The Fast Forward accelerator's tech nonprofits job board and directory. This is easily the most extensive list I found: https://www.ffwd.org/tech-nonprofit-jobs/ https://www.ffwd.org/tech-nonprofit-jobs/, https://www.ffwd.org/tech-nonprofits/ https://www.ffwd.org/tech-nonprofits/ - The YC-funded non-profits (subset here https://github.com/smartergiving/open-data/blob/master/v0/funder_highlights/y_combinator.json https://github.com/smartergiving/open-data/blob/master/v0/fu...) - The well-known non-profits: Mozilla, Wikimedia, Khan Academy - https://twitter.com/goodtechjobs https://twitter.com/goodtechjobs - Code for America is hiring, takes fellows, and has a government job board: https://jobs.codeforamerica.org/ https://jobs.codeforamerica.org/ - Tech co-ops: https://techworker.coop/members https://techworker.coop/members - https://www.fossjobs.net/ https://www.fossjobs.net/ - Angel list nonprofits: https://angel.co/nonprofits https://angel.co/nonprofits - Some other random social good orgs that I found were hiring in the SF area or remote: Open Whisper Systems, Binti, Nuna, The Human Diagnosis project, Bayes Impact, Nava, GovEx, Democracy Works, The Guardian Project, The Internet Archive, EFF, Exygy, Open Law Lib, Angaza, Fight for the Future, - An article written by the co-founder of Bayes Impact for techcrunch: https://techcrunch.com/2017/04/25/a-call-to-action-for-tech/ https://techcrunch.com/2017/04/25/a-call-to-action-for-tech/ - Civic Makers (http://civicmakers.com/ http://civicmakers.com/) has a newsletter highlighting civic news I also second the progressive coder's network.

Thanks for mentioning Binti! We help people become foster parents and help foster care agencies approve foster families. More foster families means vulnerable children can get out of group homes and into family homes, where they're more likely to have a good experience. With the help of Binti's web software, social workers spend less time doing paperwork and more time helping families, so they have a greater impact and are less likely to leave the field. We're needing generalist full-stack engineers, as well as lead engineers in the areas of data, devops, and security: https://binti.com/binti-careers/ https://binti.com/binti-careers/
