Gauntlet is a fully funded, selective 10-week fellowship for experienced engineers who want to accelerate their careers by proving they can build and ship production-grade AI systems under real-world pressure. Fellows ship weekly, work alongside experienced operators, and get direct exposure to founders, CTOs, and hiring partners.

In our most recent cohort, challengers secured 300+ first-round interviews with hiring partners. Our goal is for 100% of program graduates to receive offers from our partner network, with a minimum starting compensation of $200,000.

The program runs 10 weeks: 3 weeks remote, followed by 7 weeks onsite in Austin, Texas. Fellows should expect a high-intensity schedule (80–100 hours/week) designed to maximize learning speed, signal, and career outcomes.

Outcomes:

• 10+ deployed AI applications shipped during the fellowship
• Access to Gauntlet’s alumni + hiring partner network
• Graduates receive $200,000+ job offers from hiring partners
