Employment Type: Contract (W2 through ZipStaff — No C2C or 1099)
About the Opportunity:
ZipStaff is seeking a senior OnBase Developer to support a strategic digital transformation initiative at a global business services organization.
In this role, you will lead the technical analysis, extraction, and migration of a legacy Hyland OnBase environment into a modern ECM ecosystem featuring OpenText, Camunda, and Microsoft SharePoint. This is a hands-on migration leadership role requiring deep OnBase expertise and proven experience executing large-scale document and workflow migrations off OnBase.
What You’ll Do:
  • Lead comprehensive discovery of the legacy OnBase environment, analyzing Document Types, Keywords, WorkView applications, AutoFoldering, and Workflow configurations.
  • Collaborate with enterprise architects and business stakeholders to map OnBase metadata, security models, and document structures to OpenText, SharePoint, and Camunda formats.
  • Design and execute end-to-end ETL routines to migrate high-volume document stores and historical data with zero data loss.
  • Develop custom scripts, C# API routines, or OnBase Unity API extensions to extract documents, annotations, audit logs, and metadata from OnBase disk groups and databases.
  • Identify and resolve complex data discrepancies, orphaned records, or corrupted files before and during migration.
  • Configure data transformation pipelines for ingestion into OpenText repositories and SharePoint document libraries.
  • Deconstruct complex OnBase Workflows and WorkView applications and translate business logic into Camunda BPMN models and process flows.
  • Support parallel testing, dual-run strategies, and post-migration validation to ensure system integrity and compliance.
  • Document legacy system configurations, migration mappings, technical workflows, and final decommissioning procedures.
Required Qualifications:
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience developing, configuring, and maintaining Hyland OnBase platforms (Unity API, C# scripting, OnBase database schema, WorkView, Workflow, Keyword Types).
  • Proven experience executing at least one large-scale migration project moving off OnBase to a modern ECM platform.
  • Advanced proficiency in SQL Server / Oracle, complex T-SQL, data extraction scripts, and ETL procedures.
  • Strong C# / .NET development skills, particularly using Unity API or REST APIs for OnBase content extraction.
  • Solid understanding of document management practices in Microsoft SharePoint, OpenText Content Suite/xECM, and/or Camunda process automation.
  • Experience with high-volume document migration, data validation, hash verification, and audit tracking.
  • Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Active or past Hyland certifications (OCA, OCWA, OCAPI).
  • Experience with REST/SOAP APIs, Middleware/MuleSoft, or Azure Data Factory.
  • Experience working in Agile (Scrum or Kanban) environments.
