Full-stack backend developer in an Agile DevOps team that builds and runs automation on OpenText Operations Orchestration (OO). Designs develops and maintains OO flows operations and content packs in OO Studio automating IT and business processes and integrating OpenText with enterprise systems. Owns the stability of these automations in production and supports the teams move of selected workflows to ServiceNow by documenting and explaining existing OO logic.
Job Description or Responsibilities
Flow development in OO Studio
- Design build and maintain flows and subflows in OO Studio (and OO Workflow Designer where used) covering inputs outputs results transitions and responses.
- Develop custom operations using Java Python/Jython PowerShell SSH SQL and HTTP/REST operations.
- Build reusable flows and operations and apply consistent naming structure and versioning standards.
- Configure system accounts system properties selection lists and configuration items securely avoiding hard-coded credentials and environment values.
- Build robust error handling retries timeouts and logging into flows so failures are clear and recoverable.
- Automate IT processes such as user provisioning server and cloud operations patching monitoring remediation and service request fulfillment.
Content packs
- Develop package and version custom content packs and manage dependencies on OpenText base and integration content packs.
- Upgrade out-of-the-box content packs test impact and fix broken flows after upgrades.
- Promote content packs across dev test and production through OO Central following the teams release and change process.
- Manage content in source control (Git/SVN with OO Studio SCM integration).
Integrations
- Build integrations between OO and enterprise systems such as ServiceNow Active Directory/Entra ID VMware monitoring tools databases and ticketing systems.
- Build and consume REST/SOAP APIs including authentication (OAuth 2.0 basic auth API keys certificates).
- Configure and maintain Remote Action Servers (RAS) and worker groups for executing operations across network zones.
- Support triggers from other systems for example SMAX processes monitoring alerts or schedules and make sure results flow back correctly.
Full-stack development
- Develop backend services and scripts (Java Python PowerShell) that support automation.
- Build or maintain straightforward web front ends APIs or dashboards that start or report on automations where needed.
- Work with databases (SQL Server Oracle PostgreSQL) for OO data reporting and integration logic.
Operations (run)
- Monitor flow runs schedules RAS health and OO Central and act on failures before users are affected.
- Troubleshoot failed or stuck runs using run logs debugger and step-level details.
- Resolve L2/L3 incidents for the automations the team owns within SLA and turn permanent fixes into backlog items.
- Take part in the teams on-call or support rotation.
- Support OO platform upgrades patches and certificate renewals together with platform administrators.
- Maintain runbooks flow documentation (purpose inputs dependencies owners) and known-error records.
Migration support
- Document existing OO flows and integrations clearly so the ServiceNow team can assess and rebuild them in Workflow Studio and IntegrationHub.
- Work with ServiceNow developers during migration waves explaining flow logic dependencies and edge cases and supporting side-by-side testing and cutover.
- Help decommission flows and content packs once replacements are live.
Qualifications :
Experience and qualifications
- 4 to 8 years in software development or automation engineering with at least 3 years of hands-on OpenText (or Micro Focus/HPE) Operations Orchestration development.
