FAQ
-
Do you offer international relocation support?
- Yes. For eligible roles, we provide international mobility support, including work visa sponsorship, to help you relocate and settle into your new environment. These relocation options may vary based on individual circumstances. For qualifying positions, our support also extends to your spouse and children, including dependent visa sponsorship.
-
Can I apply if I do not speak Japanese?
- Absolutely. Many of our positions are open to international candidates, and English is the primary working language for many teams. We have internal support and resources to help bridge any language gaps. While not always required, Japanese language skills can be an advantage depending on the specific role and its coordination needs.
-
What does the interview process look like for overseas candidates?
- The entire process can be conducted virtually. Typically, it involves 3 to 4 rounds of interviews with potential teammates and leadership. We focus not only on your technical expertise but also on your cultural fit and passion for our mission to redefine the future of transportation.
-
How long does the hiring process take?
- The timeline depends on several factors, such as the nature of the role and interviewer availability. For locally based candidates, you can typically start shortly after accepting an offer. For international candidates, the onboarding process—including visa processing and relocation arrangements—can take up to 4 months after the offer is accepted.
-
Is the work style “traditional Japanese” or more “startup-like”?
- We are a fast-paced, mission-driven startup. We’ve replaced traditional hierarchies with flat communication and open-plan offices for everyone, including our CEO. We value results and initiative over seniority. Importantly, we prioritize productivity over long hours. We discourage unnecessary overtime, focusing instead on efficiency and meaningful output. We believe that a healthy work-life balance is essential to sustaining the high-level innovation required for our mission.
