Professional experience in Korean translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or NLP data work.
Strong knowledge of Korean nuance, regional variation, register, and context-appropriate usage.
Professional fluency in English.
Careful attention to detail, including the ability to detect subtle errors and unnatural phrasing.
Clear communication skills and experience working with distributed, remote teams.

Preferred Qualifications1
