What your day looks like Let's break down this big vision into a little taste of your work at Trengo: * It might be refreshing for you to know we're working on greenfield development using Nest.js and we don't plan to stop innovating any time soon. We are fast to send features to production and ship them-this is always after peer review. We collaborate a lot. * We like to think of these features as MVPs: design them, build them including unit and/or e2e tests, ship them, and then see what value they add to the market. It is rewarding to read the feedback from the customers who test them and to share our wins with the whole team. We work with quite a few different technologies, across the different teams: * PHP (Laravel) for the larger backend * Nest.js for the new greenfield projects
