DevOps Engineer - We keep the servers running and make sure that the pipeline of idea -> developer -> code -> testing -> production has as few kinks in it as possible. We're the final safety check to make sure bad code doesn't make it into our live environments. That and we try to automate anything we need to do more than once.
Oh, that is way more technical than the audience I had in mind.
Like ...what is a server....kind of people.
Though I love the description for myself. I always wonder :)
It reminded me of when I was explaining to my dad how e-mail works (~1999).
After an extreme abstraction with pipes, boxes, and letters flying through things....he asked if the e-mail is on the computer already .... we have not connected to the internet yet (the dial-up days) and at this point, I decided to lie to my dad, for the greater good :)

I like to think I don't know any of these kind of people. :)
