> Disney+ may have a huge advantage but neither seems interested in the tech side.

Anecdotally, having interviewed for Disney Streaming, they seemed extremely interested in the tech side.

The entire streaming division (DSS) was born out of BAMTech, the pioneer of streaming media. There is no place other than DSS that has that kind of tech pedigree in regards to streaming.

Wow your interview anecdote is totally different from mine. My interview at Disney+ was one of the weirdest I've ever had. Really open ended questions, but the interviewer was looking for very specific answers. At one point the interviewer just laid back in his chair and closed their eyes for a few minutes. I came away really confused and – unsurprisingly – without an offer but not really sure what I was expected to have done differently.
