I work for a company that installs sensors that monitor water levels (reservoir and tidal) and make real-time dashboards with millimeter precision. Previously, I was programming industrial machines in the manufacturing industry. I found the company because I own a few shares of one of our partners. I saw a press release announcing the partnership and thought it sounded awesome, so I emailed and said "Here's my skillset. I'm excited by what you're doing. If you'd like to work together, let me know." It is fully remote. Yes, it makes an impact. Reservoir use our data to make informed decisions on moving water between or reservoirs and putting water restrictions in place. We are a very small team. I report to the CTO, am given a lot of autonomy/freedom, and touch every part of our process from circuit board to customer-facing dashboard, so by extension I feel that I'm making a positive impact.
