Welcome to The Main Thread
On this podcast, we’re going to explore the journey from mid-senior level to Staff+ level Software Engineer. I’m Brian Ogilvie, and my friend and co-host Alex Gaiser and I will be digging into the nitty gritty of what it takes to make that leap from senior engineer within your team to a true technical leader with organization- or company-wide impact. Each episode, we’ll interview Staff engineers from some of the world’s largest tech companies, like Meta, Google, and Amazon, as well as some of the executives who lean on these engineers for setting and implementing their technical direction. And we’ll also interview technical leaders from smaller companies, so that we can provide the broadest possible perspective, and hopefully one that’s useful to you on your career journey.
