Deliberate Build

Engineering leadership and senior talent for teams at an inflection point. Deliberate in every decision, and built to outlast us.

What We Do

We build software, and we're good at it.
We're deliberate in everything we do, end to end, and we sweat the context and tradeoffs that make software work.

Technical Engineering Leadership

VP, Director, and CTO-level direction for teams scaling or in transition: org design, hiring, and the hard technical calls.

Project Management

Delivery leadership that turns ambiguous initiatives into shipped outcomes: scope, sequencing, and accountability.

AI-Based Development

AI-assisted development that ships better software, faster, with LLM tooling woven into how the team designs, writes, and reviews.

Application Development

Full-stack applications and the integrations that connect them to the systems around them. Built to last past the demo.

Cloud Infrastructure

Cloud-native infrastructure on AWS, GCP, or Azure: Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, and the platform your software runs on.

AI Product Development

Production AI features that earn their place: retrieval, document processing, and agent workflows, with people kept on the decisions that matter.

How We Engage

Four ways to work together, sized to the problem and the commitment you're ready to make.

Fractional

Senior leadership a few days a week. The expertise without the full-time headcount, right for inflection points and gaps.

Full-Time

Embedded and in the room every day, for a defined stretch, when the work needs one set of hands all the way through.

Project-Based

A fixed price for a defined scope and timeline. Assessments, architecture reviews, and system builds, agreed upfront.

Capacity-Based

A committed share of the work week at an agreed rate. Steady, scheduled availability that flexes with demand.

Who We Are

Deliberate Build is a founder-led engineering practice. We're engineers and builders, with the process and polish of senior consulting. We lead teams, architect systems, write code, and ship product.

It started with Jeremy Jenkins. After 25 years across both product and service organizations, he set out to build a boutique practice around a few convictions. Software is a craft worth caring about. The fastest way to ship is to be deliberate, not to move fast and break things. And the real AI opportunity is to make quality software more attainable and faster to deliver, not cheap copies.

Leave every person, team, and system better than we found it.

Our mission

Let's Talk

The first step is a conversation. We'll discuss your situation, identify where we can have the most impact, and determine the right engagement model. No cost for an initial consultation.
