Job Description

This position is remote across Canada, but reports into our Toronto office. 

Points is looking for a Frontend Development Engineer to join our Gizmos Software Engineering team for a permanent position. Team Gizmos is a cross-functional, Agile team with backend, frontend and full-stack engineers 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.
