Tons of hard, interesting engineering problems here, and they are working on Mesos infra (on AWS) and a Spark cluster. The web teams use node.js. Most of the backend stuff is in Java and Scala - Play framework, node, and Clojure. They have some legacy code in C#; they are moving away from it, and no one is really "porting" the code. Teams are building new products which are replacing old products over time.
None for now, and enjoy working here. Scale is not as massive compared to other consumer web companies in social media or web in terms of user data or activity. But it is still fun to work here.
Keep aiming for ambitious products!
