Brazilian meat and prepared-foods processor with 22+ production units
Pif Paf Alimentos is a 5,000+ employee meat and prepared-foods manufacturer operating 10 industrial units and 12 production facilities across southeast Brazil and select other regions. The tech stack shows a traditional enterprise footprint (SAP, SQL Server, Oracle, Excel) layered with modern data infrastructure (Python, Pandas, TensorFlow, PySpark, AWS, Airflow, MLflow), indicating active investment in data science and ML—likely targeting demand forecasting and cost optimization, both named as pain points. Active hiring in operations, manufacturing, and engineering (37 of 98 roles mid-level or above) signals scaling of production and technical capability rather than headcount-heavy growth.
