The Team The Engineering team builds the core systems and infrastructure that power Crosby’s AI-first platform. We operate in high-stakes environments where security, reliability, and data integrity are critical to everything we do. We prioritize strong foundations, ownership, and rigor — ensuring our systems are secure by design while enabling fast product iteration.

Monitor and respond: Implement monitoring, alerting, and incident response processes to detect and respond to security threats. Ensure compliance readiness: Support security and compliance efforts (e.g., SOC 2), including documentation, controls, and audits. Collaborate across teams: Partner with engineering and product teams to embed security into the development lifecycle without slowing velocity.
