Gambit simulates a real-world engineering task so that we can showcase your skills to high-growth startups.

A real engineering workflow — your chance to prove what you can do
You receive an open-ended feature request and clarify scope, constraints, and edge cases with a virtual PM — just like a real sprint kickoff.
Think of it as writing a spec
Implement the feature using Gambit AI — a coding agent that mirrors tools like Claude Code and Codex. Show how you leverage AI to ship fast.
Think of it as putting up a PR
After you submit, targeted questions probe your understanding of implementation decisions, trade-offs, and edge case handling.
Think of it as a code review
Every interaction — PM conversations, AI prompts, code changes — is analyzed to build a rich profile of your engineering strengths that companies actually want to see.
What companies care about
Show that you ship. Your time-to-working-solution and output quality demonstrate you can move fast without cutting corners.
Prove you own every line. Your grasp of trade-offs, edge cases, and testing decisions shows companies you understand what you build — not just what AI generates.
Demonstrate AI fluency. Companies want engineers who provide meaningful context and guide AI deliberately — not ones who blindly accept output.
Show you think beyond code. How you scoped the feature, the questions you asked, and the product decisions you made reveal the kind of engineer you are.
Every keystroke, AI prompt, and terminal command is captured in a full session replay. Companies see exactly how you think and build — no resume fluff.
Structured scores across every strength with detailed breakdowns. Companies compare candidates on what actually matters — and you have the proof.
When your profile is strong, Gambit introduces you directly to hiring teams with a clear recommendation and confidence scores. No black-hole applications.
