OpenText Dialogue (Exstream) Developer

We have partnered with our client in their search for a OpenText Dialogue (Exstream) Developer in Columbus, OH Responsibilities • 1) Exstream batch composition mastery (expert) • Design, build, and maintain high-volume batch applications with predictable throughput, restorability expectations, and stable rendering behavior. • Strong command of template/layout architecture: modular reusable components, shared style libraries, page sets, conditional regions, dynamic tables, keep/float rules, overflow handling, and deterministic pagination. • Advanced business-rule implementation: suppression logic, eligibility, multi-product/customer variations, jurisdiction/state logic, and effective-dating of disclosures. • Deep understanding of print-oriented composition concerns (page numbering, duplex rules, address blocks/windows, inserts stubs, banners/messages, statement cycles). 1. PDF + AFP output engineering (expert) • PDF fidelity: consistent rendering across environments, font embedding/substitution strategy, image handling, barcode quality where relevant, and output size/performance tradeoffs. • AFP fundamentals (as used in CCM/print streams): page segments/overlays/resource usage concepts, font/resource management, print production constraints, and ensuring deterministic AFP output for vendor/mainframe print flows (as applicable). • Ability to design channel-parity rules: same content logic producing correct output in both PDF and AFP, with controlled exceptions (e.g., resource constraints). 1. Data integration & data-model discipline (expert) • Define and govern data contracts for composition: hierarchical structures, repeat groups, record-level vs document-level attributes. • Build robust mapping/transformation with clear handling of nulls, defaults, formatting (dates/currency), and special characters/multi-byte text. • Implement data validation gates (pre-compose checks) and clear fail vs fallback behavior to avoid silent compliance defects. • Performance-aware data usage: avoid per-record expensive operations; design for batch scale (e.g., repeat handling, conditional evaluation costs). 1. Performance, scalability & stability in batch (expert) • Diagnose and improve throughput by tuning: layout complexity, conditional logic hotspots, image usage, font/resource loading patterns, and I/O. • Understand and manage memory footprint and batch sizing strategies to prevent long-run degradation. • Design for re-run safety and operational recovery: consistent job parameters, deterministic outputs, and clear checkpoint/restart approaches supported by your environment. Skills Required • OpenText Exstream / Dialogue Exstream experience. • Must have experience with the Dialogue Exstream product specifically, not just general OpenText products. • Hands-on development using Exstream for document composition. • Experience building/composing statements using: • Rules • Targeting • Templates • Mainframe inputs • Ideally 7+ years of experience, but manager is open to 5+ years minimum if the candidate is strong. • Ability to get productive within 1-2 sprints. • Experience integrating Exstream outputs with orchestration/downstream systems. • Understanding of output formats such as AFP and PDF. NICE TO HAVES: • Experience with orchestration tools. • Apache Spark / PySpark / Java Spark exposure. • Ab Initio knowledge. • AWS exposure. • Observability / monitoring / logging experience. • Experience with: • CloudWatch • Dynatrace • Splunk • Experience forwarding logs and supporting application logging. Education & Work Experience • Bachelor's Degree in equivalent field • 7+ years of experience Title OpenText Dialogue (Exstream) Developer Location Columbus, OH Client Industry Fintech Ref ID 1687681 About Korn Ferry Korn Ferry unleashes potential in people, teams, and organizations.
