BMC Helix Developer

Title: BClient Helix Developer
Location: Plano, TX (Onsite. Open to candidates willing to relocate)
Duration: months

Must Have Skills:

• BClient Helix
• BClient Remedy
• ITIL

Key Responsibilities

• Platform Support & Operations
• Serve as a tier- subject matter expert for BClient Helix production issues across Smart IT, Digital Workplace (DWP), Service Catalog, Incident, Change, Request, and PC Store modules.
• Investigate and resolve submission failures, approval errors, workflow exceptions, authentication issues, and integration faults — with ability to drill from aggregate metrics to individual user failures for remediation.
• Perform root cause analysis on platform, configuration, and custom code issues; document incidents and permanent fixes.
• Participate in on-call rotation for critical Helix platform outages and major submission/approval failures (ticket queue management is handled separately).
• Manage environment promotion (Dev → QA → Prod), change control, and release validation for Helix configurations and customizations.

Monitoring, KPIs & Platform Health

• Build and maintain Helix-native monitoring and KPI dashboards (-minute refresh) covering login health, form/catalog usage, submission success/failure rates, approval integrity, and integration health.
• Configure and optimize AR System audit, custom KPI snapshot tables, scheduled escalations/filters, and operational reports.
• Define and tune alert thresholds for submission failure spikes, integration errors, and authentication anomalies.
• Partner with Technology Operations leadership to provide platform health and adoption metrics — distinct from ticket volume and queue metrics.

Development & Configuration

• Design, build, and maintain Helix customizations including forms, workflows, filters, escalations, process definitions, and record definitions (Innovation Studio / Helix Platform as applicable).
• Develop and enhance Digital Workplace catalog items, questionnaires, service definitions, and self-service experiences — including PC Store fulfillment flows.
• Configure and optimize Incident and Change intake in Smart IT — focusing on reliable submission, validation, templates, and approval paths (not ticket tracking/reporting).
• Implement Service Desk form consolidation — reduce form sprawl, retire unused forms, and standardize intake paths per platform strategy.
• Deliver UI/UX improvements across DWP and Smart IT — layout, field logic, validation messaging, mobile usability, and branding consistency.

Integrations & APIs

• Build and maintain REST API integrations between Helix and enterprise systems, including but not limited to:
• PubSub (event messaging)
• SailPoint (identity lifecycle / provisioning)
• Device (asset/inventory for PC Store)
• IT Automation platforms
• HRIS event triggers (hire, transfer, termination workflows)
• Develop middleware, webhooks, and custom integration layers using AR REST API, Helix Platform API, and DWP APIs.
• Implement robust error handling, retry logic, correlation IDs, and integration failure logging aligned with KPI and support requirements.
• Manage API authentication, service accounts, OAuth/RSSO, and least-privilege access for integrations.

AI & Automation

• Evaluate, configure, and extend BClient Helix AI capabilities (HelixGPT, cognitive service desk features, intelligent search, virtual agent/chatbot) where licensed and appropriate.
• Integrate AI-assisted features with Optimum knowledge sources (OLLI/Confluence — not Helix KB per platform strategy) and service catalog content.
• Build automation for repetitive platform tasks — provisioning workflows, approval routing, data sync, and self-healing integration retries.
• Ensure AI integrations comply with Optimum security, data classification, and privacy policies — no PII exposure in unauthorized contexts.

Governance, Security & Documentation

• Enforce RBAC, field-level security, and data access controls — including anonymous aggregate reporting with restricted drill-down for failure investigation.
• Maintain technical documentation: architecture diagrams, integration specs, runbooks, form catalogs, and release notes.
• Support SOX-relevant workflows (, HR access provisioning) with auditability and approval integrity.
• Collaborate with Security, IAM, and Compliance on access reviews, service account governance, and integration security.

Experience

• years of hands-on experience with BClient Remedy / AR System / BClient Helix in an enterprise production environment.
• years in a senior developer, administrator, or technical lead role on Helix or equivalent ITSM platform.
• Demonstrated experience supporting Helix ITSM, Smart IT, Digital Workplace, and Service Catalog (SRM) in production.
• Proven track record building and maintaining REST API integrations between Helix and external enterprise systems.
• Experience with Incident, Change, and Request module configuration — workflows, approvals, templates, and self-service intake.
• Experience operating multi-tier Helix environments (AR Server, Mid-tier, RSSO/SSO, database layer).

Technical Skills:

• AR System: forms, active links, filters, escalations, permissions, audit configuration, SQL/reporting on AR schema.
• Helix Platform / Innovation Studio: record definitions, views, processes, rules, deployment (preferred).
• Digital Workplace & Service Catalog: service definitions, catalog items, questionnaires, approval mappings.
• Smart IT: configuration, plugins, incident/change/task creation flows.
• Integration: REST/SOAP APIs, webhooks, JSON/XML, authentication (OAuth , SAML, API keys, service accounts).
• Scripting/development: Java, JavaScript, or equivalent for AR filters, web APIs, and custom extensions.
• Database: SQL query and performance analysis (SQL Server and/or Oracle — match your environment).
• Reporting: Helix native reporting, dashboards, Pentaho, or equivalent BI within Helix ecosystem.

Preferred Qualifications

• Extensive experience with BClient Helix /
• Experience with BClient Helix AI / HelixGPT / cognitive chatbot configuration and integration.
• Familiarity with SailPoint, Device, or similar IAM/CMDB platforms.
• Experience building KPI/observability frameworks on Helix-native tooling (audit-based metrics, custom snapshot tables, scheduled aggregation).
• ITIL foundation or practical ITSM process knowledge (Incident, Change, Request, Catalog).
• Experience in telecommunications, media, or large enterprise environments.
• Exposure to ServiceNow migration projects (source or target side).
• Experience with SOX-controlled access provisioning workflows.
• Java development for AR System API and mid-tier extensions.
• Familiarity with Git and CI/CD for Helix deployment pipelines.
