Naver Labs (robotics, autonomous driving, AI), Krafton Deep Learning Division, Lunit (medical AI), Moloco (ad-tech ML), MarqVision (CV/IP enforcement), Bear Robotics, Anthropic, and OpenAI's Korea office. SK Hynix and Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology also hire international researchers — those run on a foreign-graduate program track rather than open postings.

For research scientist roles at the AI labs: usually yes, or equivalent published work. For research engineer / applied research roles: often no — strong MS-level work and shipping track record is enough. Robotics and CV labs are sometimes more flexible than NLP labs on credentials.

Pulled from each employer's career page every weekday at around 17:00 UTC. Listings that disappear from the source are marked expired within 24 hours. Most other 'Korea jobs for foreigners' boards last updated in 2022; ours doesn't sit.

No to all three. /jobs is free for both candidates and employers. Apply links go to the original posting on the company's own ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, or proprietary career page). Seoulstart adds visa context and curates for English-friendliness; the hiring relationship is between you and the employer.

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.

Yes. Click any role and look for the free CV tailor link. It runs three free passes per day, takes a minute, and produces an ATS-friendly English CV mapped to the role's requirements. No upload required, no signup; resets at midnight KST.
