Shopping center operator managing 95 malls across Philippines and China
SM Supermalls operates one of Southeast Asia's largest mall portfolios—87 properties in the Philippines plus 8 in China—with a 5,000+ person workforce split across operations, engineering, and marketing. The tech stack reveals a hybrid model: legacy ERP (SAP) alongside modern cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) and developer tooling (Python, Django, FastAPI, GraphQL), with SAP S/4HANA slated for replacement. Operations-heavy hiring (86 roles) paired with active engineering recruitment signals internal investment in property management systems and digital platforms rather than pure real-estate functions.
