Common questions
Do data and ML roles in Korea require Korean?
Of the 23 data and ML roles in Korea we have read, 2 do not ask for Korean in the posting. The rest ask for some Korean, from conversational to business level. Each listing shows the language requirement Seoulstart found.
Can foreigners get a work visa for data and ML roles in Korea?
20 of the 23 data and ML roles in Korea we have read are professional roles that usually hire foreign staff on the E-7 visa. Your employer usually applies for the E-7 for you, so ask the recruiter early whether they sponsor it. If you hold an F-2, F-4, F-5 or F-6 visa, you can usually take these roles without sponsorship.
Are there foreign-friendly AI/ML roles in Korea?
Yes. Anthropic, OpenAI (Korea office), Lunit (medical AI), Moloco (ad-tech), Bear Robotics, MarqVision, and Mathpresso all hire foreigners on English-only postings. Naver Labs and Krafton's research teams have strong international representation. Coupang and LINE run large applied ML teams.
What's the typical data team structure at Korean tech companies?
Larger Korean tech companies (Naver, Coupang, LINE) run dedicated data engineering, data science, and analytics engineering tracks, similar to FAANG. Smaller startups often combine roles. Tooling is mostly familiar (Snowflake / BigQuery / Spark / dbt / Airflow); some companies use Korean-specific stacks for legacy reasons.
Do data roles count for E-7 visa sponsorship?
Yes. Data and AI roles map to E-7 visa occupation codes. Data-focused roles usually fit 2231 (Data Specialist), and engineering-focused ones fit the software developer codes 2222 or 2223. Immigration looks at your main duties and your degree, so confirm the code with your employer before documents are drafted. Your employer usually files the application for you.
How fresh are these listings?
Pulled from each employer's career page every day. Listings that disappear from the source are marked expired within 24 hours.
How does Seoulstart decide if a role is 'English-friendly'?
Each posting is classified by its language signals: JD language, explicit Korean-fluency requirements, foreign-team mentions, sponsorship language, and the company's track record of hiring foreign workers. Roles that look Korean-only fall below our threshold and don't surface here. The classification is Seoulstart's read of the public JD; always verify language requirements directly with the recruiter.
Before you apply

- E-7 occupation codesWhich job titles fit which E-7 code, and why the right code matters for approval.
- Salary expectationsPay ranges, negotiation norms, and benchmarks by industry.
- Korean-format resume (이력서)What Korean employers expect on a 이력서 — different from an English CV.
