OpenText Media Management (OTMM) Specialist

Not Disclosed

Job Description & Details

This is a contract gig centered on OpenText Media Management (OTMM) version 25+ for on‑prem deployments. You’ll be the go‑to person for workflow customizations and third‑party integrations, reporting directly to IT leadership.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

You’ll spend most of your time tweaking OTMM workflows – adding custom actions, scripting Java/JavaScript extensions, and updating MS SQL queries that power metadata searches. Deployments are on‑prem, so you’ll handle the full install/upgrade cycle, troubleshoot environment‑specific issues, and work with integration services to hook OTMM into other enterprise apps. A big chunk of the role is communication: you’ll translate technical constraints to non‑technical stakeholders and keep the IT leadership looped in on progress.

The Core Tech Stack

The stack is pretty narrow but deep: OTMM 25 or newer (on‑prem), heavy Java and JavaScript for custom workflow code, and MS SQL for the backend metadata store. The company expects you to know the OTMM integration services inside‑out because they rely on them to push assets to downstream systems. Since it’s an on‑prem setup, solid knowledge of Windows/Linux server administration and networking basics is also a plus.

Interview Expectations

  1. Design a custom OTMM workflow that triggers a REST API after an asset is ingested. The interviewer will look for how you break down the workflow into stages, which OTMM services you’d extend, and how you’d secure the API call. They want to see you can map business rules to OTMM’s workflow engine without breaking the core system.
  2. Troubleshoot a slow OTMM SQL query that joins multiple metadata tables. Expect to discuss index strategies, execution plans, and how OTMM caches metadata. They’re probing whether you understand the performance implications of OTMM’s schema and can tune it in a production environment.

Application Advice

Tailor your resume to mirror the JD’s buzzwords: “OTMM version 25”, “workflow customization”, “Java”, “JavaScript”, “MS SQL”, “on‑prem deployment”, and “integration services”. Highlight any projects where you integrated OpenText with third‑party apps or optimized OTMM performance. Since it’s a remote contract, flag your remote work experience and your ability to interact with IT leadership.
