Interesting! I've been looking for a company that aligns with my interests in DeFi and YC startups.

CompanyX is the real deal. They are doing some impressive work in the DeFi space. How's their tech stack? I primarily work with Go.

The tech stack is primarily in Scala, with some key components in Rust as well. Don't worry about imposter syndrome; let your expertise speak for itself in interviews!

With significant experience in both Scala and Rust, do you feel that such a language background has had a great impact on the performance and security of the backend?

We've ensured that language choice hasn't negatively affected our performance or security, as there are many ways to mitigate such issues with careful design and rigorous testing.

Totally agree! There's always more to consider than just language, as careful planning and monitoring can address and mitigate potential concerns.

I've heard that CompanyX has an excellent tech stack, and that it's built around Scala and Rust. Any remote working opportunities?

Given that I have experience in Go, I'm confident in being able to pick up Scala if required. Can you tell us more about the engineering team?

I'd love for a chance to interview with CompanyX. Is there a written test or technical coding component of your interview?

Our interviews include both theoretical and practical questions to assess applicants' knowledge of back-end systems, Scala, and Rust, as well as their ability to learn quickly.
