Most companies have managed dbs, and they don't hire a DBRE/DBOps person until it's too late. But I agree there are jobs and not many people with the skills.

My pet theory for the explosion of jobs in this space is that during ZIRP, tons of companies underwent huge growth (generally without a DB team, as you said), and managed by just upsizing instance classes. Eventually, you can’t solve your problem by throwing money at a vendor.
