About this listen

Each episode is a LIVE job post looking for a software engineer. We interview the hiring managers and decision makers to see what they are looking for in a candidate for each position to give you a greater insight into the culture and company itself. They will highlight their company and the position itself so you don't have to waste time applying to jobs you don't even want. Head over to GoldenSquirrel.io and leave your email address and the minimum salary that would interest you in exploring another opportunity and we’ll email you podcast episodes along with the salary range and interview process, BUT only if it meets your salary requirements. If you don’t hear from us then you’ll know the grass isn’t greener on the other side of the fence and you can get back to work and focus on your next ticket.© 2023 Chasing Squirrels Career Success Economics

    Brian is a proven expert in business and emerging technology. A successful entrepreneur, he has created and managed  many companies that are disruptors in their fields, with a passionate focus on customer experience. He has a practical, holistic management style that embraces the fact that happy, motivated employees deliver customer value, and that customer value delivers shareholder value.

    He has practical knowledge in technology business start-up and management, developed from over 20 years of hands-on experience.  He's intimately familiar with design patterns of both business and technology, he's comfortable as a business leader, a technology architect, and is always ready to roll up his sleeves and do some coding.

    With his start-up background, he's comfortable in an environment with rapidly changing priorities, and the wearing of "many hats".
