I've been a Principal Software Engineer at Fitbit since November 2013 (previously Senior Software Engineer at Google) and Fitbit is an awesome place to work. The company culture is fantastic. The people are great to work with. The Boston office feels like a startup because it's relatively small (40 people), yet we're well-funded and secure. Everywhere I go people tell me they love our product or know someone who loves it and talks about it.

In Site Engineering, we're using jQuery, Bootstrap, underscore, Handlebars, Backbone, Stylus, Buster, Selenium, requirejs, and Highcharts on the front end, with new technologies introduced as needed. We're only using node as part of the build system for now. The back end is tomcat with a lot of Spring and Hibernate in front of mysql. Some big data projects I'm aware of also use Python. Beyond that, check job listings to know what tools might be used.
