OpenText Dialogue (Exstream) Developer

Responsibilities 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). 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). 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). 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.
