4 years ago I was facing the same problem. I had gained some knowledge as a developer and didn't want to work for a random project anymore. I was set on finding something that would align with my values and would help our society live in a more sustainable way.

I found that Energy is one of the most important things. If you have abundance of energy you can do a lot of things. E.g. convert existing materials to new. The only thing is that you need to produce that energy in a sustainable way.

At that point I decided to join a start-up called Sympower (now ~100 people). Sympower helps balance the electricity grid by using already existing resources. Balancing the grid is very important to be able to accommodate additional renewable resources into our grid.

At the moment I am satisfied with my decision. I feel like the company is making an impact and the company is also keeping sustainability in mind in its daily operations. The job is also remote.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out fred.puistaja@sympower.net
