A minute after posting this, I can think of way more necessary roles. Let's start by mentioning that all this infra needs to run 24/7 with 100% uptime so that some 30 year old can jerk off to a VOD of Amouranth at 3am without a single frame drop.

And all of this is just core product people.

Its hard to run a huge online service like Twitch.
