About CWILL
CWILL (pronounced 'quill') is a post-purchase and retention suite built for Shopify brands. Reduce support tickets, recover lost revenue from returns, and turn one-time buyers into loyal fans — with tools purpose-built for every touchpoint that follows the sale.
About the Role
CWILL AI SEO & Image Optimizer is our AI-powered SEO and site speed product for cross-border e-commerce and Shopify merchants. It helps merchants improve content quality, indexing, keyword coverage and organic traffic, with more site audits, keyword analysis, content generation, reporting and AI SEO workflows on the way.
As an R&D Trainee, you'll learn by building real features with a mentor, and grow into an engineer who owns a module independently.
