AI Writer

About the Role

Kuku AI Studio is building the world's first large-scale AI-native microdrama production house, creating short-form shows for a massive audience. This is not a conventional screenwriting role; you will work as part of a production pipeline where your output serves as the creative specification for machines. The ideal candidate loves structure as much as story and finds the architecture of a scene as interesting as the scene itself.

Key Responsibilities

• Story Skeleton to Script:
• Internalize adapted story skeletons (character wounds, base emotion, identity threats, setting symbolism, arc structure) and translate them into episode-level decisions.
• Develop full episode beat sheets detailing each episode's hook, plot advancement, key emotional beat, close type, and the audience's lingering question.
• Write compressed, precise, and immediately executable episode briefs for an AI Architect without requiring creative interpretation.
• Emotional Architecture:
• Place paywalls correctly at peak emotional injustice or identity threat, not plot reveals.
• Design cliffhangers that leave the audience with an unbearable emotional question, not a plot question.
• Calibrate the cliffhanger-to-satisfying-close ratio across a season to avoid audience fatigue.
• Pipeline and Collaboration:
• Brief the AI Director on the emotional intent of each episode, serving as their creative specification for visual execution.
• Review AI-generated episode output against intended emotional architecture and flag structural mismatches to the Creative Producer.
• Ensure scripts are ready before the production window opens.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Screenwriting, content writing, or creative writing background (formal training is a plus, but a strong portfolio matters more).
• Genuine understanding of what makes content engaging and keeps viewers watching.
• Ability to write emotion without stating it directly in dialogue.
• Speed under pressure and the ability to be productive at volume without losing quality.
• Fluency in Hindi and English, with non-negotiable cultural register accuracy.
• Curiosity about AI as a creative tool and an understanding of AI capabilities and limitations.
