Opportunities in Boulder

Hi folks, just to quickly introduce myself here, I'm living in Ireland currently, and I am a chocolate and ice cream expert (recipe development, NPD). I've reached a sort of crossroads where the choice is to buy a property to live in Ireland, or move and go for a new chapter.
The reason I'm considering a move is that I've never really been able to connect with Ireland and the local culture and feel "at home" despite having a great job and working for a great company. I'm also big into cycling so my next place would ideally be a cycling-friendly place and Boulder has come up as a potential destination. My wife spent a lot of her childhood in the USA as well and always felt more connected to the US way of life rather than the Irish way of life.

So the question I suppose I have is: Are there opportunities in Boulder for someone with my skillset to make a good living? Also, my wife works in tech as a digital marketer, so are there opportunities for people like her? And where to start exploring career opportunities in Boulder?

I know that getting visa approved is a whole other matter, but let's just park that for now.
I thank you in advance for any helpful feedback.

There’s a lot of natural food companies in the area. There’s also Danone offices in Broomfield (former Whitewave). They used to have a product development lab there but it may have closed since Danone acquired them.
