How to apply to Sovrano AI

Who can join

• Whatever the role demands, and the expert roles are senior: the nuclear, CBRN and chemical engineering posts ask for 3 to 4+ years in the field, English at C1 or above, and residence in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or the EU.
• For the Fall 2026 Cohort (Consulting, Finance, Business or Legal): residence in an EU member state, a master's completed or in its final year, two years of relevant experience (internships of six months or more count), English at C1 or above, and at least 30 hours a week on European working hours.
• A desktop or laptop with Google Chrome and a working camera and microphone for the AI interview. Firefox, Safari, Edge and mobile browsers are not supported.
• A real mobile number that can receive SMS: phone verification is required before you can accept a contract, and VoIP numbers, Google Voice and landlines are not accepted. One account per person.
• A CV saved as a PDF with selectable text, under 2 MB (not a Word file or a scanned image).
• A payout account in one of the 155 countries Sovrano can pay into. It cannot pay into 23 countries at all (including Russia, Iran, Venezuela and Zimbabwe); 20 more, such as Nigeria, Egypt and Lebanon, are paid by a link you claim into an account in another country.

Step by step

1. 1

   Create your account at app.sovrano.ai

   Go to app.sovrano.ai/signup and enter your first and last name, email and a password (8+ characters with letters, numbers and special characters), or continue with Google. Open the verification link Sovrano emails you. You may hold only one account: duplicates are flagged and deactivated.

2. 2

   Complete your profile

   Upload your CV and fill in your profile, skills and role summaries before you apply. Sovrano says incomplete profiles are deprioritised and recommends tailoring your skills to the domain of the project you want.

3. 3

   Apply to a specific role

   Open roles are listed at app.sovrano.ai/opportunities and can be browsed without an account. Click Apply and complete the role's checklist: a complete profile, any required assessment, and confirming your work authorization. Applications auto-save, and you can withdraw one from your dashboard.

4. 4

   Take the AI interview if your role asks for it

   It is a role-specific video conversation of about 20 minutes, in English, in Chrome with camera and microphone on. Each interview type allows up to 3 retakes from the Assessments tab. Free practice interviews are never shared with project leads.

5. 5

   Finish the role's own screening

   Expert posts ask for your CV or LinkedIn profile, then a short expert survey that you must pass before a bootcamp seat is allocated. Shortlisted applicants get the bootcamp invitation and the project guidelines by email.

6. 6

   Wait for a decision, then follow up

   Some projects review applications within a few days, others take 2 to 4 weeks, and Sovrano emails you when there is an update. If your application has been under review for more than 4 weeks, email support@sovrano.ai with the project name and your account email.

7. 7

   Accept the offer and sign the agreements

   Check the pay rate, expected hours, project and start date, then sign the Evaluator Agreement, a CIIAA (confidentiality and invention assignment) and an NDA, and acknowledge the payout policy. Offers usually expire after 5 to 7 days; if yours lapses, contact support@sovrano.ai at once.

8. 8

   Add your payment details

   Choose the country your payout account is held in; it does not have to be where you live or pay tax. Inside the SEPA area you are paid by bank transfer to your IBAN, and everywhere else by a secure payout link that you claim into an account of your choice.

9. 9

   Join Discord and do the paid bootcamp

   Join the Sovrano Discord before the bootcamp: it is where you ask questions during a batch. On the expert posts a paid bootcamp runs on Monday, production opens on Tuesday, and the first batch of roughly 10 hours closes on Sunday.

10. 10

    Get paid for approved work

    Sovrano pays for completed and accepted work at the rate in your offer or written agreement. Its terms let it withhold or adjust pay for work that misses the project's standards, after reasonable notice and a chance for you to respond.

Tips to get accepted

• Apply only to open roles. On 10 October 2026 Sovrano's job feed held 38 posts, of which 15 were open (listed at app.sovrano.ai/opportunities) and 23 closed, including all of its language and speech pilots.
• Retake an AI interview only when you are sure you will do better: Sovrano's Help Center says only your most recent attempt counts, even if it is worse.
• On the finance task role, check with Sovrano before you start: briefs on companies it already covers are rejected, and the first task takes about 15 to 20 hours.
• You can hold at most 2 active contracts at once, and rates are set per project and generally not negotiable, so choose offers with care.
• Keep project work confidential: you may list 'Contractor for Sovrano AI' on LinkedIn or your CV, but never name a client or post task screenshots. Breaches can mean a permanent ban.
• For help, email support@sovrano.ai (Monday to Saturday, Central European Time); there is no phone support. Project questions go to your project lead on Discord.
