 * Support CI/CD pipeline activities, including build automation, testing, deployment workflows, and environment promotion
 * Implement metric definitions and data transformations aligned to Foundry Ontology structures
 * Contribute clean, reliable, production-ready code across front-end and data-driven workflows
 * Participate in sprint planning, standups, sprint reviews, and stakeholder demonstrations
 * Support testing, validation, troubleshooting, and incremental platform enhancements
 * Produce clear technical documentation, operational runbooks, and sprint artifacts
 * Collaborate closely with senior engineers to resolve integration challenges and delivery blockers
