🎧 You know the content. You know the platforms. But you’ve probably never heard of John Narus — the engineer, builder, and systems thinker behind HBO Go, Max, Paramount+, and more.
He’s not a household name. But he’s had his hands on the tech that powers your favorite shows. Think of him like the Rick Rubin of streaming tech — no flash, just deep influence and undeniable impact.
In this episode of The Tech Jobber Podcast, John opens up about:
Building massive streaming systems from scratch
Why recovering bombed data centers changed how he leads
The pressure of launching HBO Go (and rebuilding it again)
What no one tells you about product leadership in media
How he went from Music Row to the back-end of the streaming wars
📡 If you’ve ever wondered who actually builds the future — this is it.
