What this category means
Deployment strategy postings make the technical direction of a deployment central. They may cover discovery, architecture, migration planning, prioritization, proof of concept, or coordination across customer and product teams. A posting can ask for engineering knowledge without making day-to-day production implementation the main responsibility.
This role-kind label is separate from coding work. The coding facet records whether the posting emphasizes production code, prototypes or scripts, configuration or integration, or no coding. Deployment strategy describes the main responsibility of the role, so the same strategy posting can have different coding expectations.
