Diversified Philippine conglomerate spanning retail, banking, and property development
SM Investments is a 10,000+ person public conglomerate operating retail, banking, and property businesses across the Philippines. The tech stack is enterprise-grade (SAP, Oracle, AWS, Azure, GCP) paired with security-first hiring: finance and security roles represent 73% of active hiring, while projects cluster heavily around compliance scans, security architecture, and audit modernization. This signals a company managing complex regulatory exposure across banking, capital markets, and retail operations while moving toward automated compliance and vulnerability management.
