Data Platform at Clay doesn’t sit behind the product. The team builds data products customers use directly, and the shared systems that make each new one faster to build.
The first is a live map of the working world: companies, people, jobs, and how they connect. It never holds still. People change jobs, companies merge and rename, and every fact starts going stale the moment it’s captured. Customers use this map to search for companies and people, enrich records, and build the audiences they take to market.
Sources disagree about the same company or person all the time. You’ll turn that fragmented, conflicting data into reliable information customers can search, enrich, and use in their workflows, at a scale where nobody can check the answers by hand, and where a wrong answer is worse than a missing one.
The map is nowhere near finished. There are kinds of businesses it doesn’t capture well, relationships it doesn’t represent, parts of the world it covers unevenly, and changes it should notice faster. Each of those gaps could become a new data product, and anything this team ships lands in front of thousands of customers the week it launches.
