ABOUT PRISM
PRISM is devoted to modernization and innovation across technology, security, and IT enterprise solutions. We are recognized for meeting performance requirements and exceeding customer expectations since 1994. Our culture is founded on relationships, opportunity, and success. Offering comprehensive benefit plans including medical, dental, vision, and 401K along with our people - first approach sustains our reputation as a premier employer.

PRISM is seeking Two Application Security Tooling Administrators to help design, operate, and continuously improve the defense agency's application security (AppSec) scanning ecosystem across the software development life cycle (SDLC). This position will run and integrate software composition analysis (SCA) with Sonatype, static application security testing (SAST) with Fortify, container/Kubernetes security with Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security (StackRox), and dynamic application security testing (DAST) with Burp Suite-ensuring scalable, auditable, mission-ready security controls in regulated environments. The ideal candidate is comfortable operating all tools listed. This is a remote position.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Platform ownership & operations:
  • Deploy, configure, harden, and maintain Sonatype, Fortify, StackRox, and Burp in on-prem and/or accredited cloud environments. The strongest candidates possess Oracle Cloud experience/certifications.
  • Manage upgrades, plugins, licensing, capacity planning, backup/restore, high availability, and disaster recovery.
  • Establish SLAs/SLOs, monitoring/alerting, and operational runbooks.

CI/CD integration (DevSecOps):
  • Integrate tools into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, etc.) with policy-based gating and risk-based exceptions.
  • Standardize developer "secure-by-default" workflows: pull request checks, nightly scans, release readiness criteria.
  • Build reusable templates and reference implementations for product teams.

Security Policy, tuning, and governance
  • Define and tune scanning policies (severity thresholds, exploitability context, allowlists/denylists, quality gates) aligned to agency standards.
  • Reduce false positives/negatives through rule tuning, calibration, and developer feedback loops.
  • Maintain an auditable vulnerability management workflow: triage, ownership, remediation SLAs, and exception/waiver documentation.

Vulnerability triage & remediation enablement
  • Provide actionable findings with clear reproduction steps and secure coding guidance.
  • Partner with engineering teams to remediate issues in code, dependencies, container images, and Kubernetes configurations.
  • Coordinate retesting and verify fixes (including targeted Burp validation for high-risk apps/APIs).

Container/Kubernetes security (StackRox)
  • Implement image scanning, runtime detections, admission controls, and Kubernetes policy enforcement.
  • Integrate with registries and orchestration platforms; maintain cluster baselines and least-privilege controls.
  • Operationalize incident-ready detections and response playbooks with SOC/IR teams.

Reporting, compliance, and audit support
  • Produce metrics and dashboards: vulnerability trends, time-to-remediate, pipeline pass rates, policy exceptions.
  • Support Risk Management Framework (RMF) / Authority to Operate (ATO) evidence needs with scan outputs, control mappings, and procedures.
  • Experience supporting Agile project management, with hands-on Jira experience strongly preferred
