I chuckled at this - "even governments" you say, as if governments are far worse than cigarette companies. I've known several idealistic folks with government jobs because they seemed to think the government was the best way for them to help others while making a living, but we all see the world differently (and government is quite broad).
In any case, I'd recommend you identify whatever organizations (or types of organizations) that you see as positive in the world and seek employment there with your existing skill set. That way you get in the door in a position where you provide value, but once you're there you can hopefully be exposed to things that inspire you and perhaps find pathways to become more involved in the core of that business, if you'd prefer that to more DevOps stuff.
Maybe you could find a job at the Red Cross for example, if you're inspired by their mission: https://americanredcross.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/American_Red_Cross_Careers/job/Washington-DC/Senior-Director--Decision-Support---Work-from-home-location-flexible_RC44902-1 https://americanredcross.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/America...
