You may also find some jobs posted at Idealist of interest (although many may have their own issues as the non-profit world can have its own dysfunctions):

You might like some things written by E.F. Schumacher like "Good Work": https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/313764.Good_Work https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/313764.Good_Work
Or maybe "Honest Business"?

Also, "What Color is Your Parachute" is also great.
Or maybe stories related to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickster
Another tip: the more frugal you are, the more flexible you can be about jobs and living arrangements.
Frankly, I can find problematical things about pretty much any profession in our modern society -- from sanitation worker through school teacher to medical doctor to shoe clerk. So, yes, it can be a challenge to make peace with that when, without a basic income, you need to exchange your labor for ration units to then exchange for food and shelter. Yet, people need, say, shoes -- so you can help a lot of people by making or selling good shoes to people who really need them. But as you point out, a lot of business and related jobs go far beyond the basics (for good or bad).
You can also find lots of post-scarcity thinking on my personal website. Or by many others in many places if you look. So, you are not alone. It seems though that, short of broad social change like, say, Andrew Yang proposes, solutions that work for specific individuals in late-stage capitalism may have to be individually crafted based on on interests, abilities, circumstances, tools, social network, local community, and so on.
Anyway, there are some non-startup jobs here in who's hiring for January 2020 (including at PBS):
