How to approach it

Keep it positive and forward-looking. Focus on what you're moving towards rather than what you're escaping, and never criticise your current employer even if it's deserved.

Example answer

"I've learned a lot at Nexa Labs, especially leading our service migration. But the platform is now in a stable, maintenance phase, and I'm looking for a role where I can take on bigger architectural challenges. This position stood out because you're building a new platform from the ground up, which is exactly the kind of problem I want to spend the next few years on."
