I've felt similar cravings for meaning in work. What helped me (may be different for you) is to understand my personal values and places to invest that aligned with those values. For me, I realized I value - working to create sustainable/profitable companies - quantitative reasoning - proactive communication - goal oriented planning From there, I worked for couple of small companies but left after I realized they were chasing billion dollar valuations and/or practicing irrational product management. Since then, I joined a small data engineering team in a medium sized cyber security company and started trading stock options on the side. Overall, I focused on doing work in environments that aligned with my values. If there wasn't alignment, I moved on. Great question mate. Best of luck!
