Resources for remote programming jobs that help fight climate change?

August 12, 2021 8:22 AM

I recently graduated with my masters in computer science. I'm looking for my first developer job. I wish to be an individual contributor writing code, and I wish to contribute in the fight against climate change. I'd love any resources or advice for finding jobs like that.

I know about ClimateBase and I've been going through their directory and applying to everything that looks relevant to my skillset. Looking for more baskets to...find? place? ....my eggs. Thanks!

Remote first, bonus points if local to the Netherlands (moving there later this year from the US, don't require sponsorship for year 1).

It is good that you are asking. Besides ask.metafilter.com, there are other, more climate-oriented places where you might get ask, to get a different mix of suggestions.

Response by poster: If you have ideas of other places that would be helpful, I’d love to hear them!

Just came across this post about sustainability jobs in general, don't really have anything to vet it, but it might have something in it.
