Slight careers

Nearly every organization that collects data has built a trove of analytical work critical to operational and strategic success. But this work is often ad-hoc, under-documented and bottlenecked by needing data teams to manually rerun analyses, queries and other data-related tasks - this becomes a a company’s “shadow data infrastructure”. On the other end of the spectrum, teams often wait weeks or more for quick data solutions to be converted to true applications by engineering teams.

At Slight, we’re tackling these problems by building a product focused on the interaction between data teams and domain experts during the lifecycle of a data request. Currently, we are focusing on making it dead easy for data teams to create, document, and share performant data applications. That is, we're enabling people to take queries (SQL, etc; reads and inserts) and scripts (e.g., R, Python), easily parametrize them, and get an application that domain experts can use.
