On the backend, we have an (extremely) service-oriented architecture written primarily in Python and Java with smatterings of C++ and others thrown in. Storage is Postgres or Cassandra. Messaging is zmq and protobuf and a few other interesting things.
On the frontend, we do hybrid native+CEF for most platforms.
Our website gets a lot of oohs and aahs for being a particularly good example of parallax scrolling.
We're looking for experienced developers, no junior roles, sorry.
