Your Role And Responsibilities
The Kora Group Coordinator team is responsible for the core coordination layer that ensures large fleets of consumers and transactional workloads within Kora remain balanced, fault-tolerant, and predictable. We are transitioning from broker-embedded coordination to a standalone, cloud-native service, prompting us to rethink how group membership, state, and metadata are stored, replicated, and recovered at scale. The challenges we address are at the intersection of distributed systems, storage, and cloud operations: designing replicated state machines, managing high-volume, low-latency traffic, handling failures and rebalances gracefully, and achieving all of this across multiple regions and tenants while meeting strict reliability and performance requirements.
What You Will Do
Build and improve backend systems that power K2 Group Coordinator, with a focus on correctness, scalability, fault tolerance and performance.
