Mutual Exploration in the Interview Process

At NABLA Mobility, we view the interview process as an opportunity for a comprehensive mutual discovery. It's not merely about assessing your capabilities; it's about understanding your career aspirations, passions, and what drives you. Simultaneously, we aim to share our vision, values, and the vibrant blend of work and personal life that defines us.

Creating Meaningful Experiences

We aspire for every member of the NABLA Mobility team to relish their time with us, regardless of the depth of their engagement. Our goal is that everyone who associates with NABLA Mobility can sincerely declare, "My experience with NABLA Mobility was one of the most cherished chapters in my life.”

Rewarding Excellence through Collaboration

We firmly believe that one of the most gratifying rewards for outstanding individuals is the opportunity to collaborate with the brightest minds. Our commitment to fostering an environment where exceptional people can shine is our way of recognizing and celebrating their contributions.

The majority of our interviews are done over Google Meet or Zoom. These virtual interviews generally extend for 30 minutes or more. However, if you are located in Japan and prefer to meet in person, we are more than happy to accommodate your preference.

We want you to meet as many teammates as possible during the interview process to gain a deeper understanding of our team dynamics and the role you will undertake upon joining our team. However, due to our small team, we are not able to respond to every application.

In general, we aim for candidates to interact with 4-6 team members throughout the process. Please note that the number of team members you meet may vary, and this variation is not indicative of your qualifications. Rather, we tailor the interview process to ensure it aligns with your specific needs and preferences while also minimizing any potential misunderstandings between us.

Screening

Our initial screening interview with HR (our People Team) is designed to get to know you better and understand your qualifications and interests. This conversation typically lasts around 30 minutes and serves as an opportunity for us to discuss your background, career goals, and alignment with our organization.

Software Engineers

As part of our evaluation process for software engineers, we incorporate algorithm challenges. During a designated segment of your interview, you will be given a case study that typically takes around 60-75 minutes to complete. It's important to note that our algorithm are not designed to test specific technical knowledge or engineering skillsets. Instead, they are crafted to reveal your problem-solving and critical-thinking abilities. We are interested in understanding how you approach complex problems, analyze situations, and arrive at creative solutions.

Designers

As part of our designer evaluation process, we include design challenges. During this interview segment, you'll engage in several case studies, typically taking around 60 minutes. It's important to note that our challenges don't have definitive answers. Instead, they aim to assess your problem-solving skills and your capacity for critical and creative thinking within a supportive context. We're eager to understand how you approach challenges, analyze situations, and generate creative solutions.

Our Approach to Team Dynamics

At NABLA Mobility, we believe in the power of intrinsic motivation and genuine enthusiasm within our team. We want to emphasize that this doesn't translate into a 'solo effort' approach. On the contrary, we place a strong emphasis on nurturing active collaboration among our team members, recognizing the valuable diversity in their skills and personalities.

Continuous Learning and Innovation

We value on the ongoing learning journey of our team members. It's not just about our current abilities; it's about how far we can collectively push our boundaries. In a dynamic and ever-expanding industry, we acknowledge that knowledge is a constant evolution, and there's always room for refining our problem-solving approaches.

Grit and Innovation Mindset

We seek future teammates who embody grit and possess a natural innovator's mindset. It's not solely about the challenges you've faced or the outcomes you've achieved, but rather the dedication and continuous learning derived from those experiences that matter to us.

Cultivating Diverse Perspectives

We welcome individuals who not only align with our existing culture but also bring new dimensions to our team. We believe that by embracing diverse perspectives, we can collectively grow and evolve. Our team members hail from various countries and backgrounds, reflecting a rich tapestry of experiences. While we are a multicultural team fluent in eleven languages, our primary language of communication is English.

How long does an application take?

We understand that candidates are eager to receive feedback on their applications. Typically, you can expect to hear back from us within 2 weeks after the submission has been received. Our entire process from application submission to offer acceptance is typically around 1 month.

What if you’re not advertising a role I’m looking for?

You can submit your CV through the Open Position on our Careers page. Please note that while we review all submissions, we may not be able to respond to every application individually. However, if your qualifications align with our future hiring needs, we will reach out to you to discuss potential opportunities.

Does the hiring process include a practical assessment?

Yes. We usually conduct a case study challenge as part of our hiring process. This applies to all positions, not only software engineering or design roles.

Thank you for taking the time to explore NABLA Mobility and our hiring process. We value your interest and look forward to the possibility of working together. Our commitment to fostering a culture of mutual growth and innovation extends beyond these words—it's embedded in everything we do.
