What You'll Walk Away With
The Inside Track on Getting In.
Gauntlet AI takes experienced software engineers and makes them AI-First engineers — a 10-week, all-in program in Austin, TX at zero cost to you. Travel, housing, and food covered. Graduates get guaranteed interviews for $200K+ roles.
Each stop opens with a short, candid talk from that city's Gauntlet host — where the AI-first shift is taking engineering careers, what the market pays for now, and what ten weeks in Austin does to yours. Then it's an open AMA: straight answers from the people who run admissions, grads who've been through it, and candid feedback on what separates applicants who make it from applicants who don't. Open bar, a room of engineers worth meeting, zero pitch decks. Not everyone gets into Gauntlet. Come find out what it takes.
The fine print: Preregistered guests only — every registration runs through that stop's event page for review and approval, and registering is not a ticket. Working software engineers, 3+ years professional experience. Admission to the Gauntlet program is merit-based and includes a rigorous cognitive skills test. We guarantee interviews for graduates, never placements. 21+ where the bar is open. One night only per city.
