database administrator
Data systems manager
A database administrator manages and maintains computer databases—installing software, monitoring performance, ensuring security, and recovering data when systems fail.
Often shortened to DBA.
The role requires technical expertise in database systems and typically involves optimizing queries, managing user access, and planning for storage needs: Our database administrator caught the breach before any data was compromised.
