Job summary

Kuku Fm in Mumbai is seeking a skilled screenwriter to translate emotional arcs into episode briefs for AI-driven short-form shows. You will craft beat sheets, cliffhangers, and dialogue that works in audio and carries subtext when viewed.

In this full-time role, you will feed a production pipeline where your output informs AI Director and Architect pairs, ensuring fast turnaround and high creative fidelity across episodes.

Qualifications

• Portfolio in screenwriting or creative writing is essential.
• Experience with microdrama and serialized fiction.
• Ability to imply emotion without explicit statements.
• Fast writer with high output without quality drop.

Responsibilities

• Translate character wounds, base emotions, identity threats and arc structure into episode-level creative choices.
• Place paywalls at emotional injustice or identity threat moments, not plot reveals.
• Design cliffhangers that pose emotional questions audiences cannot leave unanswered.
• Calibrate cliffhanger density across a season to avoid fatigue.
• Differentiate every character by voice alone so lines read without attribution remain distinct.
• Brief the AI Director on emotional intent before visual execution begins.
• Review AI-generated output and flag structural mismatches to the Creative Producer.
• Deliver scripts before production windows open, not during.
• Contribute structural solutions to a script pattern library for team reuse.

Job description

About the role:

• Write story skeletons into full episode briefs for AI-generated short-form shows
• Create beat sheets covering hooks, plot progression, emotional peaks, closes, and audience questions for each episode
• Produce compressed, precise briefs that an AI Architect can execute without needing creative interpretation
• Write dialogue that works as audio alone and carries full subtext when watched

What you'll do:

• Translate character wounds, base emotions, identity threats, and arc structure into episode-level creative choices
• Place paywalls at emotional injustice or identity threat moments, not plot reveals
• Design cliffhangers that pose emotional questions audiences cannot leave unanswered
• Calibrate cliffhanger density across a season to avoid fatigue
• Differentiate every character by voice alone so no two are interchangeable when lines are read without attribution
• Brief the AI Director on emotional intent before visual execution begins
• Review AI-generated output and flag structural mismatches to the Creative Producer
• Deliver scripts before production windows open, not during
• Contribute structural solutions to a script pattern library for team reuse

What they're looking for:

• Background in screenwriting, content writing, or creative writing (formal training a plus, but portfolio matters more)
• Deep familiarity with microdrama and serialised fiction — you know what makes someone stop scrolling
• Ability to write emotion without stating it; characters never explain what they feel
• Speed and volume without sacrificing quality
• Fluency in Hindi and English; cultural register accuracy is essential
• Curiosity about AI as a creative tool and understanding of what AI can and cannot execute from a brief

Good to know:

• Based in Mumbai
• Full-time role
• Work is part of a production pipeline where your output directly feeds into AI Director and Architect pairs
