AI GTM, Fellowship Program
AI GTM, Fellowship Program
The Obvious Fellowship Program is building the first generation of AI-native operators — through real work, world-class mentorship, and the AI fluency that sets you apart.
You've been watching the AI revolution unfold on X. You've shipped side projects with Claude, built agents that actually work, and you know the difference between a demo and a deployment. Now you want in — not as a spectator, but as someone who builds.
This role is for the rare person who can write code, craft prompts, and think like a GTM operator. You'll be a deployed engineer on the front lines of how Obvious goes to market — building complex workflow orchestrations, creating AI-powered demos that close deals, and shipping the kind of work that makes people say "wait, how did you do that?"
You'll work alongside engineers and operators from Google, Netflix, Scale AI, NYU, Stanford, and Georgia Tech. You'll have access to one of the most advanced AI agent platforms in the world. And you'll be expected to use it to do things no one's done before.
This isn't a 9-to-5. It's intense — fast iteration, high expectations, and a lot of building and shipping. If that sounds exhausting, this isn't for you. If that sounds like exactly what you've been looking for — keep reading.
What You'll Do
Build AI-powered workflows — Design and ship complex orchestrations using Obvious's agent platform. You'll automate processes, connect systems, and build things that feel like magic to end users.
Create killer demos — Build the demos that close enterprise deals. You'll take customer problems and turn them into "holy shit" moments that show what's possible with AI agents.
Prompt engineering at scale — Write prompts that actually work in production. You'll develop reusable patterns, optimize for reliability, and push the boundaries of what agents can do.
Ship GTM tooling — Build internal tools that make the sales and marketing teams faster. Automations, dashboards, integrations — whatever creates leverage.
Document and share — Write about what you build. Create content that positions Obvious as the leader in AI agents. Be part of the broader AI building community on X, GitHub, and beyond.
Solve novel problems — Every week brings something new. You'll figure out how to do things that don't have playbooks yet — and then write the playbook for the next person.
What We're Looking For
AI-native — You've built with LLMs. Not just tutorials — real projects. You understand context windows, prompt chaining, tool use, and why agents fail. You follow the cutting edge and can separate signal from hype.
Can ship code with AI — You don't need to be a senior engineer, but you need to be dangerous with AI-coding tools.
AI intuition — You understand how to translate real-world needs into software and AI-driven workflows. You can think about a customer problem and design a solution that sells itself. You know what makes a demo memorable and wildly impressive.
Creative problem solver — You see a cool build on X and think, "I could do that in Obvious." You're constantly experimenting, remixing ideas, and finding new ways to use tools.
Builder mentality — You'd rather ship something rough than wait for permission. You learn by doing. You're energized by ambiguity and ownership.
Relentlessly hardworking — Fast iteration, high expectations, a lot of building and shipping. You're driven to do exceptional work.
New grad or early career — Capability matters more than credentials. No degree required. But you can't be a current student — this requires full-time commitment.
What You'll Get
The best AI tools on the planet — Full access to Obvious's platform and the latest models. You'll build with technology that most people only read about.
World-class teammates — You'll learn from people who've built products at the biggest tech companies and scaled startups from zero. The feedback loop is fast, and the bar is high.
Career-defining experience — This role compresses years of learning into months. You'll come out of it with skills, credibility, and a network that sets you up for whatever comes next.
Ownership from day one — No ramp period. No shadow work. You'll ship real things that affect the business immediately.
A seat at the table — You'll be in the room where decisions get made. You'll understand how GTM works, how deals close, and how companies scale.

How to Apply
No resume. No cover letter. Just ship something and show us.
Step 1 — Apply and get access. Apply here, and if approved, you'll get access to Obvious with no waitlist.
Step 2 — Build something impressive. Use Obvious to create a project that shows what you can do. Build an AI workflow, automate a complex process, create a demo that would close a deal, or solve a problem we haven't thought of yet. Push the platform. Show us you belong in this role.
Step 3 — Share your project. Add jon@obvious.ai and jessica@obvious.ai to your project with chat history enabled. We don't just want to see the output — we want to see the prompts, the iteration, the problem-solving. Your thought process matters as much as the result.
Step 4 — We'll reach out. If we like what we see, we'll schedule two quick 30-minute interviews. In the first, be prepared to walk us through your project and iterate on it live. We're looking for how you think under pressure.
The Bottom Line
The AI GTM Engineer role doesn't exist at most companies. We're inventing it here because the future of go-to-market is technical. This program is designed to produce the most elite AI-savvy technical operators in GTM — people who can bridge code, prompts, and customer value. That skill set is scarce. The people who have it will be extraordinarily valuable.
If you've been waiting for your way into the AI game, this is it. You'll work harder than you ever have. You'll learn faster than you thought possible. And you'll build things that actually matter.
