Context
Coupang is a Korean unicorn with global operations; this Seoul-based platform role likely requires E-7 visa sponsorship and daily Korean communication despite English-primary JD,as you will collaborate with Korean-based product,data,and ops teams.
This is Seoulstart's analysis of the public job description, not the employer's stated policy. Verify visa sponsorship, language requirements, and remote allowances directly with the recruiter.
