Who Should Apply
This role suits linguists, translators, or localization specialists who are native or near-native Korean speakers with advanced English. You should have professional experience reviewing or annotating language data and be comfortable giving detailed feedback. Candidates without a language background or those who prefer literal translation over contextual meaning will find this less suitable. A common reason applicants get rejected is not showing concrete examples of language data work or annotation experience. Another is failing to demonstrate advanced English proficiency alongside Korean fluency.
