A lot of startups fit this bill, or otherwise small companies. But you do need to dig into the company to be sure, I have seen very heavy “agile” processes dripping with bureaucracy get installed in surprisingly small startups (with predictably bad results). Ask around places (like here!) what their SDLC is like, and if they ask you what an SDLC is you may hit onto an ideal company )or the worst possible one :-) ). Probably don’t bother with consulting or services firms. Look for industries that can benefit from software but maybe doesn’t have big “enterprise” players yet. Consider areas like embedded and IoT where you can pretend it’s the 80s and you are shoe horning features onto tiny CPU’s with little RAM. Alternatively, code as a hobby on the side, if you have the time and will power for it.
