Gauntlet is a selective, fully funded 10-week fellowship designed for seasoned engineers who want to prove their ability to build and deploy production-grade AI systems in high-pressure, real-world environments. Fellows deliver work weekly, collaborate with seasoned operators, and gain direct access to founders, CTOs, and hiring partners.

In the most recent cohort, participants earned over 300 first-round interviews with hiring partners. Our objective is for every graduate to receive job offers from our partner network, with starting compensation of at least $200,000.

The fellowship spans 10 weeks: the first 3 weeks are remote, followed by 7 weeks onsite in Austin, Texas. Participants should prepare for a rigorous schedule (80–100 hours per week) structured to optimize learning velocity, performance signal, and career advancement.

Outcomes:

• 10+ live AI applications deployed throughout the fellowship
• Access to Gauntlet's alumni and hiring partner network
