Unusual gigs are just outliers. I think odd jobs don't necessarily have much in common that would bring them together under one umbrella listing agency.
But interesting jobs depend on the eye of the beholder. What's interesting to one person may not be to another and reflect what you think is cool right now.
Personally, I find jobs interesting if they take me somewhere new, where I haven't been before. Learning about biology and medicine sufficiently to convince pharma researchers that you have found a meaningful signal in their data -- that's what led me to analyze biomedical images and develop computational models of disease.
Before that I got into HPC and supercomputing because I like speed and wanted to learn about weird forms of computing (like the original Connection Machine).
These days, to me, 'interesting' might be applying machine learning to new spaces, like exploring a cutting edge niche at a biomedical startup, or the automation of government, or adding smart instrumentation to city services.
Interesting jobs as diverse as these are unlikely to appear at any one listing agency. I suspect you'll have to actively search for whatever tech tickles you.
