Gauntlet is a selective, fully funded 10-week fellowship designed for experienced engineers seeking to advance their careers by demonstrating their ability to build and deploy production-quality AI systems in demanding, real-world conditions. Fellows deliver work on a weekly cadence, collaborate with seasoned operators, and gain direct access to founders, CTOs, and hiring partners.

During our latest cohort, participants earned over 300 first-round interviews with hiring partners. Our objective is that 100% of graduates receive offers from our partner network, with starting compensation no less than $200,000.

The fellowship spans 10 weeks: the first 3 weeks are conducted remotely, followed by 7 weeks onsite in Austin, Texas. Participants should anticipate a high-intensity commitment (80–100 hours per week) structured to optimize learning velocity, demonstrable performance, and career results.

Outcomes:

• 10+ production AI applications delivered throughout the fellowship
• Membership in Gauntlet's alumni and hiring partner network
• Job offers of $200,000+ from hiring partners for graduates
