Ask HN: Humanitarian Programming Jobs?

2 pointsby TheUndead96about 6 years ago
Hello everyone!<p>Lately I have felt that I need to be doing more to &quot;give back&quot; to the world. I would like to see if there are software development jobs that have a more direct impact on truly helping people. There is of course volunteer work, but I would like to try pursue this in my day-to-day work.<p>Some examples of the kind of work I am thinking about:<p>- Software-controlled hydroponics and &quot;food computers&quot;.<p>- Projects like freerice.com that require technical assistance.<p>- Creating, extending and maintaining the software systems that enable humanitarian efforts.<p>- Working on biology simulation to accelerate drug discovery.<p>Is anyone aware of any openings of this kind?
