Cable Resources Placed

Unison was founded directly out of the broadband industry — in fact, the nation's largest cable company in 1997, TCI (Tele-Communications, Inc.). After nearly two years of struggling to find cable-experienced resources and industry-specific solutions, our founder left his role in TCI's Procurement Office to build Unison Systems with a single purpose: provide industry-experienced resources and software engineering solutions to cable industry clients.

Twenty years later, we are a nationally recognized firm and the largest cable-centric IT Staffing company in the Western United States. For our cable clients, Unison has supported over one hundred critical application development initiatives providing close to 1,000 professional, cable-experienced resources across the U.S.

We have worked across divisions from residential and commercial to TechOps and R&D. We understand cable operations and workflows from product development and provisioning to STB (Set-Top-Box) and CC&B (Customer Care & Billing) — whether legacy mainframe or the most current IP/mobile device. Unison holds Board-level positions and participates regularly with the SCTE and WICT. Today, over 100 of our resources support the largest cable operators in the United States.

Where we focus

Space & mission systems

Embedded satellite software, command & control, mission planning, and ground systems for national security and commercial space — across prime contractors, tier-one integrators, and the commercial space sector.

Software lifecycle depth

Engineers fluent in C/C++, Rust, Python, and Ruby across the full software lifecycle — requirements and architecture through code, test, and operations support. CI/CD, containerization, and the build/deploy practices modern space programs run on.

Aviation & defense

Flight software, avionics, and structural disciplines for primes, tier-one suppliers, and the certification regimes (DO-178C, DO-254, AS9100) that govern them.

Aerospace · Defense · Space

From the cockpit
to orbit.

Unison has served the Aerospace, Defense, and Commercial Space industries since 2012, supporting programs that span from certified airframes to spacecraft on orbit. Our database is chock-full of Software and Systems Engineers carrying the core skills top aerospace organizations actively recruit for — from embedded flight software and satellite mission systems to ground software, avionics integration, and the modern development practices behind every serious space-systems program today.

The engineers we place are fluent in modern space-software stacks — C/C++, Rust, Python, Ruby — and comfortable across the full software lifecycle from requirements and architecture through code, test, integration, and operations support. CI/CD, containerization, and the build/deploy practices that anchor today's most demanding aerospace programs are second nature to the people in our network.

Aerospace work doesn't tolerate generalists, and neither do we. We understand the realities of ITAR and export-control compliance, AS9100 environments, and the certification regimes (FAA Part 23/25, DO-178C, DO-254) that drive aerospace program economics — and we apply that same rigor to every search. Combined with nearly three decades of placement depth across IT and engineering disciplines, that's what makes Unison one of the most valuable staffing partners in the Rocky Mountain region and beyond — sourcing for aerospace organizations both local and national.

Unison has been serving the Maritime industry since 2002, delivering the top 10% of multi-disciplinary marine engineering and design professionals for contract and contract-to-hire roles in military and commercial vessel programs. Through our work with 90% of the military and commercial shipbuilders in the United States, we've built one of the strongest reputations in the industry for supplying experienced contractors with strong technical aptitude.

Our recruiters are maritime engineers by trade — they have lived and worked through the process of designing and engineering naval vessels themselves, and they bring a level of technical credibility that general staffing firms simply cannot match. We deliver candidates who are highly skilled, rigorously vetted, and able to hit the ground running — saving our clients time, money, and the headache of sorting through unqualified candidates.

"We've had so much success with Unison's recruiting process and candidate quality, we no longer feel the need to interview their candidates prior to on-boarding. This is an enormous time saver for my organization."

Clients Served

Financial institutions are under more pressure than any other sector to modernize fast and hire right. Legacy core systems that predate the internet now need to support real-time payments, AI-driven fraud detection, and cloud-native infrastructure — all while satisfying regulators who are moving just as quickly as the technology.

Unison has staffed technology teams at banks, insurers, brokerages, and fintechs for nearly three decades. We understand the difference between a cloud engineer who has worked in a regulated environment and one who hasn't. Between a cybersecurity architect who knows SOC 2 and DORA, and one who is still learning. That difference is what our clients pay us to find.

In 2026, the roles financial services firms are fighting hardest to fill include cloud modernization engineers, AI and ML engineers with fraud or risk domain experience, zero-trust security architects, data engineers building real-time analytics pipelines, and DevSecOps engineers who can accelerate delivery without compromising compliance posture.

Where we staff — and what's in demand

AI, ML & Fraud Detection

ML engineers and data scientists building real-time fraud models, credit risk systems, and AI copilots on platforms like Snowflake, Databricks, and Azure AI.

Cloud & Legacy Modernization

Cloud architects and DevOps engineers migrating core banking workloads from mainframe to AWS, Azure, and hybrid cloud environments.

Cybersecurity & Zero Trust

Security architects, SOC engineers, and GRC specialists credentialed in CISSP, CISM, and frameworks including NIST CSF, SOC 2, and DORA.

RegTech & Compliance Engineering

Engineers and analysts automating compliance reporting, AML monitoring, and audit workflows to reduce manual process risk.

Payments & API Infrastructure

Software engineers building real-time payment systems, tokenization platforms, and open banking API layers across banking and fintech.

Practice Area

AI is no longer a feature — it is the product. Every industry Unison serves is racing to hire engineers who can take the latest models and ship them into production. The pace of model improvement, open-source tooling, and the rise of autonomous agents have created a talent shortage unlike anything the technology world has seen before.

What sets Unison apart is domain depth. We don't place AI talent in the abstract — we find engineers who understand the data environments, compliance requirements, and operational workflows of your specific industry. An ML engineer who has built predictive maintenance for maritime is a fundamentally different hire from one who has built fraud detection for financial services.

Foundation models will become commodities. The competitive advantage will belong entirely to the teams deploying them. We make sure our clients always have those teams.

What we deliver — and why it matters

Applied AI in production

We place engineers who ship models into real systems — not researchers. Deploying AI is a fundamentally different skill from studying it.

Domain-specific talent

AI engineers who understand your industry's data, regulations, and workflows hit the ground running. We match technical depth to business context.

The full AI stack

Data pipelines, model training, RAG architectures, agent frameworks, inference infrastructure — we staff the entire modern AI engineering org.

Ahead of the curve

Multimodal systems, autonomous agents, edge inference — these capabilities are arriving faster than hiring pipelines can adapt. We keep you ready.
