Most tech companies have an entire engineering department with sub-divisions in order to get each of these roles done.

If you can fulfill four jobs by yourself, then you should be getting paid for four jobs. In Seattle terms, that should be north of 200k annual.

And yet, you'll find that the position probably pays less than even 1/4 of the value generated. Labor hasn't evolved much since the days of the robber barons. Employment should be a contract between equals, not an instrument of subservience. Unfortunately, the meme of exploitative employment reigns supreme today, globally.
There's a difference between being able to do 4 jobs well, and being able to do 4 jobs well at the same time. I can design and code, but I rarely attempt to do both on the same day, because context switching is hard work.
