San FranciscoGrowth Team – Growth /Full Time /HybridAt 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.
