Summary
Jason Ehmke is a pragmatic technology leader and CTO who builds engineering platforms that turn operational telemetry into clear, data-driven decisions for engineering leaders.

He’s led engineering organizations at scale (growing teams from small squads to double-digit groups) and repeatedly delivered higher reliability and developer velocity through shared libraries, logging standards, and automation. As DevGrid’s co-founder he now focuses on engineering excellence tooling that codifies best practices across organizations. Based in Huntersville, NC, Jason pairs startup grit with enterprise delivery experience, and often teams technical strategy with pragmatic process changes that produce measurable outcomes. An early career background in e‑commerce and marketing gives him a rare fluency in aligning technical work to revenue and customer impact.
