Team Spotlight: Carly’s Data and Backend Teams

At Carly, some of the most powerful innovations happen behind the scenes.

This Team Spotlight shines a light on two of our core Tech teams: Data & AI and Backend & System Integration. With different focus areas but shared values, these teams quietly power everything from smart analytics to seamless customer experiences.

They may not always sit in the spotlight—but their work keeps everything moving, measuring, and scaling. Here’s how.

Turning Data into Action: The Data & AI Team

Our Data & AI team is all about turning complex data into clear, actionable insights. But it’s not just about numbers—they start with people.

One project they’re especially proud of is the recent upgrade to Carly’s CRM analytics dashboard—improving performance, automating reporting, and enabling the Marketing team to make faster, data-informed decisions. They’re also the minds behind the Carly Community, where AI and backend innovation have helped grow active users since launch.

The team’s diversity of interests—from database performance to visualizations—fuels rich discussions and better solutions, often stronger than any single person could build alone. But what truly sets this team apart is its culture—a thoughtful blend of technical excellence and genuine empathy.

Team members hold themselves to high standards, constantly pushing to grow their skills, while also supporting each other through life’s ups and downs.

Building the Backbone: The Backend & System Integration Team

Meanwhile, the Backend & System Integration team ensures everything just works. From authenticating users to managing content delivery, they are the architects behind Carly’s product stability and scalability.

This team thrives on a shared sense of curiosity and a genuine drive to grow together. Problem-solving is woven into their daily rhythm—challenges raised in stand-ups often spark instant engagement, with teammates jumping in to offer insights and ideas before being asked.

Recently, the team built a standardized authentication and schema validation system, improving platform reliability across the board. They also launched features like the repair & maintenance cost tool and custom CMS for content delivery—solutions that directly improve both the user experience and internal efficiency.

Their approach balances speed with structure, guided by principles like compromise-driven development and an observability-first mindset. It’s this thoughtful balance that enables them to move quickly while maintaining control and quality across complex systems.

Behind every smooth user journey and actionable insight at Carly, there’s a team of thoughtful, driven people making it all happen.

The Data & AI and Backend & System Integration teams may work behind the curtain—but they’re a huge part of what keeps the show running. And they’re just getting started.
