I just checked the LinkedIn of the individual whom I consider excellent, and his title is actually Database Architect. I feel that is fair considering his skills and the projects I know he handled.

Everybody in that engineering org worked with big data and could design the data store system for a regular startup easily. However, this individual’s role was to optimize our multi tenant PG cluster design to build some complex CDP functionality on top of it.

I now work for a larger organization and when I run into the individuals that own shared database resources all they do is impose contrived read/write permissions. However it makes some sense since I work with PII in some cases.

Got it, yea seems this is more valuable in a big data context or when actively pressed up against scale limitations of a DB deployment. Funny on the the last piece as well - appreciate the thoughts here!
