Come build The Disney of the 21st Century with us! 🚀
At Inkitt, we believe every author should have an equal opportunity to succeed. Our mission is to discover hidden talents and turn them into globally successful authors. Traditional publishing often leaves authors behind with human editors responsible for selecting books fit for publication. Inkitt is a pioneer at the forefront of data-driven publishing. By inventing an algorithm which analyzes users' reading behavior to identify hits, we have removed subjectivity from the traditional publishing equation. This gives Inkitt the unique ability to discover hidden talents that might otherwise have gone unnoticed 🔎
Are you a builder? We are looking for the change-makers of the world; the people who build the blueprint anytime they are unsatisfied with the status quo. Come build The Disney of the 21st Century with us by developing our books, audiobooks, creation of games, TV shows and movies!

  • Collaborating with stakeholders across all functions and gaining first-hand experience to lead and manage multi-disciplinary projects across the globe
  • Staying informed of the most relevant topics and projects that are driving the business at any given point in time, therefore becoming an extension of the Leadership team

  • Proactivity and ownership: You act without being told what to do. You bring new ideas to the company. You are able to operate independently
  • Work ethic: Not only do you have strong business acumen, but you possess a strong willingness to work as hard as is needed to get the job done
