sysadmin
Network infrastructure keeper
Sysadmin is short for system administrator—the person responsible for maintaining and operating computer systems, servers, and networks.
Sysadmins handle everything from user accounts to security patches to keeping servers running at 3 a.m.: The sysadmin finally tracked down the memory leak.
The role blends technical expertise with constant troubleshooting.
