Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMax Moroz is a security engineering leader with 11 years of hands-on experience building and scaling defenses for billion-user platforms, now leading Product and Infrastructure Security at Instacart. He built and grew global teams at ByteDance from 3 to 40 engineers across product security, red team, infra, detection, and governance while embedding automated controls into large SDLCs to improve developer velocity. At Google he was a core developer for ClusterFuzz and OSS-Fuzz adoption, driving hundreds of fuzzers and reporting tens of thousands of bugs across critical open-source projects and shipping tooling like Chrome’s first code-coverage pipeline. Max combines deep technical craftsmanship—contributions to american fuzzy lop, libFuzzer workshop materials, and llvm-cov optimizations—with strategic experience in regulatory engagement, bug bounty modernization, and incident response. He holds advanced training in law and security, and is known for turning research-grade fuzzing and build optimizations into production-grade programs that materially reduce risk.
