Educational ecosystem combining MBA, corporate training, and online learning platforms
GLOBIS operates a diversified education business spanning in-person MBA and corporate training, online learning (GLOBIS Unlimited), venture capital, and digital publishing across five countries. The tech stack reveals an organization in active platform modernization: heavy Android/Kotlin investment for mobile learning, Kubernetes migration underway, and SaaS consolidation (Box, OneLogin adoption). The engineering-heavy hiring mix (52 of 114 roles) paired with large core system renewal and infrastructure overhaul projects signals major platform infrastructure work, not incremental feature development.
Notable leadership hires: Web Director, Tech Lead, Web director, Lead Engineer, BtoB Web Director
