About Hook

Hook is an innovative social music platform, supported by leading investors, dedicated to revolutionizing music discovery, fan engagement, and creator growth. We transform beloved songs into playful sound experiences, empowering fans and creators to reimagine music through user-friendly, remix-friendly tools with no learning curve. By collaborating directly with artists, labels, and rights holders, Hook ensures that music is discovered, shared, and expressed in ways that honor and reward its creators. At Hook, music is not merely consumed; it is experienced, expressed, and personalized.

Role Overview

We are seeking a talented iOS Video Engineer to spearhead the development of Hook’s video effects pipeline and creative tools. You will be responsible for creating systems that enable real-time previews, branded effects (including color, duotone, and halftone), visual templates, and the final export of shareable Hook videos.

Your contributions will significantly enhance the creative experience for millions of users within the Hook app and across exported content on platforms like TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. This hands-on technical role is perfect for someone with a background in developing video or media-rich applications, who thrives at the intersection of performance, creative tooling, and delightful user experiences.

What You’ll Do

  • Develop Hook’s video effects engine utilizing AVFoundation and Core Image for color grading, duotone, halftone, and branded visual treatments.

  • Implement real-time filter previews in our creative studio, ensuring optimal performance and precise rendering across all devices.

  • Process and export final Hook videos, merging audio and video into a cohesive asset for users to share on or off the platform.

  • Create reusable video editing utilities for cropping, trimming, aspect ratio adjustments, overlays, transitions, and template-based compositions.

  • Collaborate closely with design and brand partners to translate After Effects concepts into efficient, mobile-friendly filters and animations.

  • Optimize the entire media pipeline for performance, memory, and battery efficiency using Core Image, AVVideoComposition, and advanced concurrency techniques.

  • Advance Hook’s creative capabilities, facilitating future features such as templates, multi-layer compositions, and creator-driven video tools.
