Summary Generated by Built In

Inkitt is building the Operating System for Storytellers, standing at the forefront of technology and entertainment.

Leveraging AI and predictive algorithms, Inkitt discovers unknown stories and turns them into blockbuster hits, producing a new $1M ebook every 7 days and selling directly to consumers through its Inkitt Galatea app. Bestsellers are then translated onto the screen through Inkitt CandyJar, the #1 US-based microdrama platform with billions of episodes streamed to date, and Inkitt Ironblood, the world's first streaming app for superhero, sci-fi and action stories.

Inkitt has become the 11th most bestseller-generating publisher in the world, boasting a 40x higher hit-rate than traditional publishers.

Backed by some of the top VC’s such as: Khosla, Kleiner Perkins, and NEA Ventures, our recent expansion into Ironblood, the first AI Native streaming platform for action and adventure, is only the beginning of our journey to becoming the next-gen entertainment powerhouse.

  • Push back thoughtfully on scripts, shot choices, or visual directions when something isn't landing.
  • Maintain emotional continuity and character integrity throughout the edit.
  • Experiment continuously with tools, formats, and techniques along with bringing what you learn back to the team.
  • Balance creative ambition with practical execution.

What You’ll Bring:

  • 3+ years of editing and/or production experience.

  • Autonomous
  • Bring solutions instead of problems
  • Data driven
  • Quick to action
