Enterprise staffing and tech services firm modernizing ops with cloud and identity platforms
Matlen Silver is a 1,000+ person staffing and technology services firm founded in 1980, headquartered in Somerville, New Jersey. The stack reveals a services organization in mid-transformation: they're adopting OpenShift and RAG while replacing legacy systems (Remedy, ReadSoft, Informatica) with cloud-native alternatives (ServiceNow, SAP suite). The hiring velocity is accelerating, with engineering representing the largest hiring cohort—paired with active projects around microservices, container scanning, and data analytics—suggesting a shift toward building proprietary IP rather than pure staffing play.
