A few years ago I have worked with people 100% focused on making the best out of our Postgres databases, but I wouldn't expect that specific scope to still exist outside of huge organizations.
Today I think a "DBA" in a small/middle sized company would be also touching cloud resources and data funneled through analytics and other sources. Basically the "big data" fad we had a while ago becoming just "data", and that data has to be administered, optimized, and backend/frontend devs also need guidance and education on how to best deal with it.
In general, I have the feeling "administrator" roles are disappearing to be either more specific in the biggest orgs, or way broader in the middle sizes/run of the mill orgs.
