Product Manager: 100% useful. having a layer between engineering and the stakeholders allows the engineers to actually focus on their work. I know the product managers I work with never get a break, I have the utmost respect for them.
Researcher: this really should be lumped in with product manager. if there needs to be two product managers, so be it, but this doesn't deserve its own position.
Designer: I assume this is short for ux designer. these can be very useful on certain projects, but lightweight projects don't need them.
Contributor: anyone who has this as their job title is definitely not doing anything useful.
Maintainer: should be lumped in with developer. there's no reason to have this as a separate job from developer or engineer.
Developer: without this position, nothing gets built.
