The Engineer in Residence program is a 6-month fellowship with Renaissance Philanthropy in partnership with Gitwit Venture Studio and part of the new Northwest Arkansas Innovation Fund from Renaissance Philanthropy. This program is designed for the engineer who has a builder instinct already showing up somewhere–side projects, weekend builds, scrappy projects you’ve pushed into the world–but who hasn’t had the chance to do that work full-time, in the open, with a real team around them. The ideal candidate is someone who has a zero-to-one instinct, evidence of building, stays close to the frontier, and has engineering experience.

The ideal candidate is someone who has been operating in the gravitational field of company-building for a while, and is ready to step fully into it.
