Thanks for the report here, I'm working on replicating. What I've found so far is that you apparently need to specify all of the following:

job_variables
parameters
parameter_openapi_schema

They're optional, but it looks like we need to improve the way we unmarshal them in case they're not configured. Will look into it a bit more and put up a PR.
