Definian is hiring an experienced Software Architect to join our growing team in Hyderabad, India.
This role represents a rare career-defining opportunity for an experienced architect who thrives on complex, high-stakes challenges. You'll be leading the modernization of Applaud, mission-critical software that drives a substantial portion of our company's revenue. This is a complete architectural transformation – converting decades of COBOL and C++ legacy code into modern C# using object-oriented design principles and contemporary best practices. This isn't a simple translation project; it requires someone who can reverse-engineer complex procedural logic, reconceptualize it through an architectural lens, and rebuild it for the next generation.
You'll be one of the first members of our India engineering team, shaping how we build software at Definian. Beyond the modernization work, you'll provide technical leadership and mentorship to a growing team of C# and Python developers, ensuring code quality and architectural consistency. You'll work closely with our US-based Senior Architect to align on architectural decisions and implement solutions that serve both our internal needs and our clients. There's clear potential to grow into formal management responsibilities as the team expands.
We are an AI-forward organization that embraces tools like Claude and Claude Code to accelerate development. With AI-assisted tools supporting the effort, you'll be pioneering approaches to large-scale modernization while serving as a trusted technical partner to leadership on this business-critical initiative.
This is demanding work that requires architectural maturity, business acumen, and exceptional communication skills. But for the right person, it's the kind of transformative project that defines a career. If you're energized by the prospect of taking on one of the most challenging modernization efforts in the industry and leaving a lasting architectural legacy, we want to hear from you.
Note: The responsibilities for this position could expand to include other duties based on the needs of the company and the skills of the candidate.
Founded in 1985 as Premier International and rebranded in 2025, Definian combines four decades of trusted results with the energy of an AI-enabled future. We are proud to be recognized as one of Crain’s Best Places to Work in Chicago® and to be consistently named to the Inc. 5000 list for growth.

Definian is hiring experienced Senior Software Engineers to join our growing team in Hyderabad, India.
This is a ground-floor opportunity to join a high-impact modernization effort. You'll be working on Applaud, mission-critical software that drives a substantial portion of our company's revenue. The challenge: transforming decades of COBOL and C++ legacy code into modern C# – not a simple translation, but a genuine reimagining of complex business logic using object-oriented design and contemporary best practices.
You'll be one of the first engineers on our India team, which means your contributions will be visible and your expertise will matter. This isn't a role where you'll be lost in a large organization or working on features no one uses. You'll develop deep knowledge of Applaud, become a go-to resource for production support during India hours, and collaborate closely with our India-based Software Architect and US technical leadership.
We are an AI-forward organization that embraces tools like Claude and Claude Code to accelerate development. You'll leverage these tools daily to work efficiently, solve complex problems, and participate in pioneering approaches to large-scale modernization.
This role demands strong C# skills, experience with modern UI frameworks, comfort with legacy codebases, and the persistence to debug complex issues in systems you didn't build. But for engineers who take pride in their craft and want to see their work have real business impact, this is the kind of challenging, meaningful work that accelerates careers.
Note: The responsibilities for this position could expand to include other duties based on the needs of the company and the skills of the candidate.
