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 This Role
As the company's local point of contact for operations and compliance overseas, this role is primarily responsible for day-to-day operational execution, cross-timezone collaboration, and implementation of local compliance requirements. This is primarily an execution-level role, but requires the ability to independently handle unexpected incidents, ensuring system stability and compliance across the North America region.

Perform initial troubleshooting and first-response actions before handing off to the China-based team.
Long-Term (12+ Months)
Local Data Center & Compliance Operations
Own day-to-day operations of local US data centers and/or cloud resources, and implement associated compliance requirements.

First-Line Incident Response
Serve as the first responder for incidents affecting systems and services in the North America region, reducing cross-timezone response delays.
Independently resolve common incidents, and coordinate efficiently with the China-based team on complex issues.
Compliance & Liaison Support
Under guidance from compliance experts, progressively take on execution and liaison work related to GDPR, SOC2, and US local regulations (e.g., CCPA, EO 14117).
