For CTOs and VPs of Engineering running product orgs of ten to a hundred engineers — where delivery has visibly slowed, and AI is a mandate without a map.
If deploys are events, queues are long, and your best engineers spend more time fighting the platform than shipping — the drag is structural. And it's measurable.
Process
Thirty minutes, free — your delivery pain, your stack, your AI ambitions, and whether there's a fit. No pitch.
Fixed price, DORA-benchmarked. I measure how you ship today, then hand you a written benchmark and prioritized roadmap — useful whether or not we go further.
Practice advisory, embedded implementation, or a fixed-scope project — whatever the numbers say is worth doing. A retainer comes only after something works.
Juniper & Co. worked with MoveCars.com to provide fractional technology leadership, transforming a 25-year-old web property from static HTML to a modern, instant-quote platform — Next.js on Vercel, Rails on Render.
“I've worked with Jarrod Carlson for nearly 20 years… If I were hiring a technical leader today, he'd be at the top of my list.”
“Jarrod is a rare combination of platform engineer, SRE, and full-stack engineer, but what really sets him apart is how he makes entire teams more effective.”
“He's the kind of engineer who doesn't just solve problems, he removes friction so teams can move faster and ship better software.”
I spent two decades making engineering teams ship faster, most recently running the cloud platform that 200+ engineers at Cox Automotive shipped on every day. I started Juniper & Co. to bring that kind of leverage — measured, not promised — to teams that can't build it in-house.
