A few notes:

1. Benefits section is empty in your original text. I left a placeholder. If it matches the FAE role, I can reuse: medical insurance including dependent coverage, paid time off and holidays, and flexible work arrangements.
2. Possible inconsistency in the role: the role is based in Korea but responsibilities include developing North American customers, and the qualifications ask for U.S. customer experience while also requiring effective collaboration with Korean customers. If that is intentional (e.g., covering both markets), consider stating it explicitly in the overview, such as "covering Korean and North American accounts."
3. Equal opportunity statement was not in this text. If you want it, I can append the same one used in the FAE posting.
