Points is looking for a Backend Development Engineer to join our Gizmos Software Engineering team. Team Gizmos is an Agile team focused on our Points Loyalty Wallet product — helping customers track, redeem and exchange points, miles and rewards from many of the world's largest loyalty programs.

• Our teams own the written code from beginning to end. This includes not only writing great code, but also making sure that the code is well tested, scalable and that we constantly promote engineering best practices.
• We cherish the growth of our team members, and we’d like you to find your own way to continue to grow and add to your skill sets as part of the work here. This means that while we’ll enable and encourage you to grow, you should have the drive to learn.
