As part of our 2021 editorial calendar, May is Tech for the Common Good month here at Technical.ly. Echoing last year’s coverage of healthcare technology solutions in the early days of the pandemic, we’re spending the month focusing on the ways tech can intersect with social initiatives, or bring the benefits of technology to more people.

That doesn’t have to be limited your local volunteer work or building a coding project on the side. Check out these companies hiring for mindful tech roles full-time (or looking to improve the industry itself).

SecondMuse has an opening for an associate position in its new DC branch of the GET (Gender Equality in Tech) Cities program (non-coders interested in work involving the tech industry, this one’s for you). The role, which has the potential to turn into a management position, will consist of working with stakeholders, community engagement and event planning. GET launched in the DMV area in March in partnership with Pivotal Ventures.

GET Cities DC Managing Director Ayanna Smith said that since the program is still so new, GET DC has yet to decide which programs it wants to build out. She hopes the new candidate can help determine some of the gaps that still need to be filled to avoid duplicating work that’s already been done.

“We want to figure that out by just listening, but what I can say is that I would like someone who has strong leadership qualities in that way,” Smith said, adding that an ideal candidate would be someone “who will identify opportunities to just step in and take a leadership role and help us build out a strategy and a plan for supporting and accelerating the work that’s already being done in the region.”

Though some programs are still in the works, Smith said current goals include increasing the number of women receiving computer science degrees and getting promoted to leadership positions in tech.
