From the employer

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

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.

What You’ll Do:

You'll be creating content across formats including:

Episodic/longform cutdowns with cliffhanger endings

Comment-overlay hook edits
Fan-edit style content (thirst traps, theory breakdowns, trend-driven cuts)
Streamer/reactor-cam reaction overlays
"XL headline" trailers layering in social proof (rankings, trending call-outs, etc.)

What You’ll Bring:

Proven short-form/vertical video editing experience (TikTok, Reels, Shorts, or similar)
Able to turn around finished edits in 1–3 days
Comfortable working across multiple content formats and styles within the same week
Working knowledge of AI video generation tools (Runway, Kling, Sora, Pika, Luma, etc.) — or a fast learner who's genuinely excited to pick them up
Strong sense of hook, pacing, and what makes someone stop scrolling in the first 1–2 seconds
Reliable communication and file delivery (Frame.io, Drive, Dropbox, etc.)

Nice To Have:

Background in action, anime, gaming, or superhero content/fandoms
Motion graphics / VFX / After Effects skills
Experience with AI voice, image, or video tools beyond basic prompting
Past work on trailer cuts, dialogue edits, or reaction-style content
