How did you find these opportunities? I'm looking but having a hard time finding non-profits hiring "Software Engineer" on job sites.

Because I don't work for nonprofits, they are regular companies that do social good. Some are officially registered as B corps or Public Benefit Corporations, but some aren't officially registered, they just have it as part of their mantra and core product. I've been in a telehealth startup, an interpreting&translation startup, and now in a health tech startup linking nonprofits and vulnerable communities.
As to how I found them? Pure luck... It's been fun, challenging and there's no greater feeling at the end of the day. Interpreting in particular was such an eye opener, I could talk about it for hours.
