I currently am a programmer who wants to find a job is aligned with tech privacy. I see a few companies post on this forum, but I don’t want to bother their PR team here as this isn’t a job posting board.

With that, how do you all evaluate if a general tech company is a privacy advocate?

For starters, what do you actually want yourself? You should go look at the [All Tech is Human Job Board](https://alltechishuman.org/responsible-tech-job-board).

You could also work in public interest technology and take a paycut to work at various nonprofit organizations or government.

Another option is to work for a company that provides services that are not consumer-facing. A software development at a cybersecurity or marketing B2B firm won’t always be opposed to your beliefs.

One notable exception is Palantir though :wink:

Not sure there are many privacy-focused companies in itself.  
I guess that you can always lurk when it comes down to Proton, Nexctloud, Tuta etc. :+1:t2:

But in itself, if you are beyond a family-sized company it might be hard to have them care about Privacy.

I guess that if you truly want to work for such a value, the best way to go is to create something yourself. :sweat_smile:  
But you can also work for some non-invasive non-dopamine filling company and potentially push-back on hostile practices haha.

TLDR: having a job and having it respecting privacy might be a hard Venn diagram to fit in, consider having a 9-5 that pays the bills only. :folded_hands:t2:

Moreover, I don’t think that people might feel like you’re bothering them: quite the opposite if they could use some of yours skills. :+1:t2:

Whether they can accomodate my workflow or not.
