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, Power Shell, 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 Open Text 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 team's 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 Service Now, 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, Power Shell) that support automation.
- Build or maintain simple 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 team's 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 Service Now team can assess and rebuild them in Workflow Studio and Integration Hub.
- Work with Service Now 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 Open Text (or Micro Focus/HPE) Operations Orchestration development.
- Deep experience with OO Studio: flows, subflows, operations, system accounts and properties, and debugging.
- Proven experience building, packaging, and deploying content packs, and upgrading Open Text content packs.
- Robust scripting and programming skills in Java, Python/Jython, and Power Shell, plus SQL.
- Strong integration experience with REST/SOAP APIs, JSON/XML, and authentication methods.

- Good knowledge of infrastructure: Windows and Linux, Active Directory, networking basics, virtualization, and cloud platforms.
- Experience troubleshooting production automation and doing root-cause analysis.
- Experience with source control (Git) and working in Agile Dev Ops teams.
- Understanding of ITIL processes, especially Request Fulfilment, Incident, and Change.
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field.
