I can understand government work being meaningful if you’re doing something that can’t be done in the private sector like setting policy, regulatory compliance, working on health or climate change etc, but why would it be meaningful to help the French government build a shitty Google clone, to the tune of a 2/3 pay cut?

And also it's not like you work for the French government, the French government is funding your company to support innovation. Most governments do that, by giving money or allowing tax optimization.
