What this job asks for AI summary
A full-stack engineering role at a pre-litigation legal services company, focused on building internal case-management tooling for personal injury workflows — covering intake, medical records, lien management, and demand letters. The work involves owning features from architecture through production using Python/Django, React, and AWS, including AI-powered functionality. The role suits engineers with at least three years of production experience who are comfortable with ambiguity and broad ownership at an early-stage company.

Why we read it this way (6)
The caller has instructed that this role be treated as fully remote and that no metro be inferred, overriding the JD's explicit statement that the role requires 4 days/week in the NYC office.
The title 'Member of the Technical Staff' carries no seniority level word; the title states no level. The 3+ years requirement and scope (full-stack ownership at an early-stage startup) support a Mid-level classification.
Python and React are listed together in the Must-Haves section with an 'or demonstrably fast at picking up new stacks' qualifier — this softens the specific tool but not the underlying requirement; both are treated as hard gates. The qualifier is noted here for transparency.
Django, AWS, and OpenAI API appear explicitly under the 'Nice-to-Haves' section.
Compensation is stated as base salary only ($180,000–$280,000/year); equity is mentioned as part of the package but no figures are given.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
