Twitch revolutionized the gaming industry by forever changing the way gamers, players and fans come together. But our community today is known for its passion in gaming and beyond. Our own Chief Monetization Officer Mike Minton spoke with Nasdaq and Invesco US on Innovation Answered series to discuss the evolution of Twitch and how new innovative technologies and monetization tools are enabling creators to build meaningful communities:

Gaming streamers and their communities continue to set the standard for the rest of the industry, whether they’re building bonds by playing games together, celebrating gaming’s biggest launches, or gaming for a cause, when big gaming moments happen, they happen on Twitch. We’re proud to be one of the many businesses under Amazon that contribute and support the games industry with a global community of streamers who come together daily to share their passion for gaming.

Software & Security Engineering Internships are live! Fifteen software engineering interns recently completed their summer internship at Twitch. The 2024 cohort participated in a variety of activities, including pair coding, chocolate making, an Engineering summit, an Alcatraz tour, deejaying for the company All Hands, and in true program tradition, presenting their Kappastone projects at the end of the summer. We had an absolute blast and are lucky to have hosted such talented students. To celebrate the opening of the 2025 internship application season, last year's Twitch interns were asked to share their favorite memories and application advice. Live Now!  Mobile Engineering (Android & iOS): https://jst.me/HO32S17f Security Engineering: https://jst.me/oB2Ba5FN Software Engineering (Dec 2025/Spring 2026): https://jst.me/3M7j27Wu Coming Soon!  Sign up to be notified when these applications open: https://lnkd.in/g2b8gJm3 Data Science (Masters/PhD)  Marketing Partnerships From our alumni: Jasmine van Leeuwen  API Platform / Software Engineering / Queen’s University  Favorite Memory: One of my favorite memories at Twitch has been having lunch with my teammates every week! It has been a great way to meet everyone. Advice to Interns: Just be yourself! Everyone wants to hear about your unique experiences and values; share what you're passionate about and what makes you you. Gabrielle Chang Client Delivery Platform / Software Engineering / California Institute of Technology Favorite Memory: I met a ton of people during the first week of the internship. All interns get assigned a bunch of 'buddies': I had lunch buddies, onboarding buddies, even alum buddies from my school. It was great setting up 1/1's with all the members of my team and hearing about the interesting work that they do. Advice to Interns: The Twitch application process stood out to me, because it felt so personable. There were multiple chances to talk to Tom, and ask any questions about the upcoming interviews, timelines, etc. I would take advantage of these opportunities, even if the question is small. People here really want you to succeed! Stay tuned for more internship openings and to hear from more of our intern alumni.
