I don’t read those two quotes as in tension? The job board isn’t endorsing organizations, it’s endorsing roles. An organization can be highly net harmful while the right person joining to work on the right thing can be highly positive.
I also think “endorsement” is a bit too strong: the bar for listing a job shouldn’t be “anyone reading this who takes this job will have significant positive impact” but instead more like “under some combinations of values and world models that the job board runners think are plausible, this job is plausibly one of the highest impact opportunities for the right person”.
