Gauntlet is a selective, fully funded 10-week fellowship designed for experienced engineers who want to accelerate their careers by demonstrating their ability to build and ship production-grade AI systems in high-pressure, real-world conditions. Fellows ship work weekly, collaborate with experienced operators, and gain direct access to founders, CTOs, and hiring partners.

In the most recent cohort, participants earned 300+ first-round interviews with hiring partners. The program's objective is for 100% of graduates to receive offers from the partner network, with starting compensation no lower than $200,000.

The fellowship spans 10 weeks: the first 3 weeks are remote, and the remaining 7 weeks are onsite in Austin, Texas. Fellows should anticipate a demanding schedule (80–100 hours per week) structured to optimize learning velocity, performance signal, and career impact.

Outcomes:

• 10+ production AI applications deployed throughout the fellowship
• Entry into Gauntlet's alumni and hiring partner network
• Job offers starting at $200,000+ from hiring partners upon graduation
