States, and Brazil, with additional resources in key markets around the world. Speria MTech’s

headquarters is based in Atlanta, Georgia and has approximately 90 team members in a

casual, collaborative environment. Our work culture here is based on a passion for helping

our clients feed the world, resulting in a flexible and rewarding atmosphere. We pride

ourselves for having a working atmosphere that encourages collaboration, exceptional

development tooling, training, and ongoing opportunities to work with senior and executive

management.

Job Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Machine Learning Operations (MLOps)

Engineer to join our dynamic team at Speria MTech. The ideal candidate will play a crucial

role in operationalizing machine learning and optimization systems by building

and maintaining the infrastructure, deployment workflows, and platform

capabilities required to run Applied AI solutions reliably in production.

This role focuses on model deployment, scalable serving, orchestration, monitoring, and

lifecycle management across Speria’s integrated platforms. The MLOps Engineer works

closely with Machine Learning Engineers and Data Engineers to ensure that models and

decisioning systems are production-ready, observable, cost-efficient, and seamlessly

integrated into downstream applications and workflows.

The role also helps improve platform performance and system efficiency by standardizing

deployment patterns, reducing operational complexity, and optimizing how machine learning

services are exposed and consumed across the organization.

We seek a solution-oriented individual who can provide answers rather than just identify

problems. Embracing continuous change is key, as innovation and improvement are integral

to Speria MTech's culture. This person should have a service-minded attitude, demonstrating

a passion for enhancing the work of others and simplifying processes for stakeholders.

Essential Functions & Responsibilities

Essential responsibilities include and functions of the Machine Learning Operations Engineer

are:

• Build and maintain deployment pipelines for machine learning and optimization

services across development, testing, and production environments.

• Design and operate scalable model serving patterns, including APIs, batch jobs, and

scheduled workflows that expose machine learning capabilities to downstream

systems.

• Manage model lifecycle workflows, including model packaging, versioning, promotion,

rollback, and deployment automation.

• Implement and maintain platform capabilities for observability, monitoring, and

alerting across model services and related production workflows.

• Optimize model-serving systems for performance, scalability, reliability, and cost

efficiency in cloud environments.

• Collaborate with Machine Learning Engineers

to productionize models, decisioning systems, and intelligent workflows.

• Work with Data Engineers to ensure production services have reliable access to

required data inputs, feature outputs, and supporting data pipelines.

• Standardize deployment practices, tooling, and operational patterns to reduce

operational complexity and improve consistency across Applied AI systems.

• Support orchestration of workflows that connect models and decisioning systems to

downstream applications and operational processes.

• Maintain documentation for deployment architectures, platform workflows, monitoring

standards, and operational runbooks.

SKILLS & REQUIREMENTS

Qualifications, Skills, and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related

field.

• 2–4 years of experience in software engineering, data engineering, MLOps, or platform

engineering roles.

• Experience building and maintaining production systems,

including deployment pipelines or distributed systems.

• Experience working with cloud-based environments for deploying and operating data

or machine learning systems.

• Strong programming skills in Python and experience with scripting and automation for

deployment workflows.

• Experience working with machine learning lifecycle tools and platforms (e.g., MLflow or

similar).

• Experience designing and managing CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows for

machine learning systems.

• Experience with Databricks or similar platforms for machine learning lifecycle

management, including model tracking, governance, and serving, is highly desirable.

• Experience implementing monitoring, logging, and observability for production

systems.

• Strong understanding of system performance optimization, scalability, and cost

efficiency.

Preferred Skills

• Familiarity with cloud-native data and compute services (e.g., serverless compute,

managed databases, container platforms) is a plus.

• Experience working with containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, container

platforms, or similar).

• Familiarity with deploying and managing containerized applications in cloud

environments.

• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines, automation, or infrastructure-as-code tools.
• Experience supporting or operating machine learning systems in production

environments.

• Familiarity with API development and model serving patterns (REST APIs, batch

inference workflows).

• Ability to collaborate effectively with machine learning, data engineering, and

platform teams.

• Familiarity with machine learning workflows and lifecycle processes, including model

deployment, monitoring, and retraining.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

In a world with an ever-growing population with climate and sustainability challenges and with changing consumer demands, the global food industry is going through a profound transformation.

Did you know that 815 million people go to bed hungry every night. At the same time, 1/3 of all food being produced globally is wasted.

The Speria business is all about changing this. Not only to improve animal welfare, drive yield and sustainability for actors in the global food supply chain, but also to help to feed the world by enabling change in the way we farm and produce food.

Our contribution is to create a digital ecosystem including data capture platforms as connected controllers and IoT and sensors, that together with predictive AI and real-time monitoring allow farmers and growers to improve animal welfare and maximize production while minimizing waste and Co2 emissions – ensuring a transparent and sustainable food production for a growing population.

Speria – spearheading digitalization by providing innovative solutions enabling the green transition.
