Software Engineering and Data Science in CNY

Does anyone know of any Software Engineering or Data Science opportunities in the CNY area (preferably around Syracuse or remote) that are NOT in the defense industry? I'm sick of working on projects for the DoD-- especially when you do apply somewhere and they want to show off your work and you can't because it's something that you can't even talk about. I know I can do something outside of work, and I do, but after working all day in these stuffy environments... I don't get much what done.
