Rescue.co is hiring a Lead Cloud Architect, proficient in AWS, to join our team and drive infrastructure and architecture forward. Remote first, full time, reporting to the founder, start as soon as you can.

When someone calls our emergency line, the dispatch platform behind that call runs on AWS. It has to be up, fast and secure at 3am on a Sunday, not just during business hours. We need someone who keeps that true today and designs what it becomes as we grow across the continent.

This is a senior role joining our existing infrastructure team in a hands-on capacity. You help define the strategy and make architecture calls with the team. You also build a lot of it yourself in the first stretch, and help maintain what is already working.

About Rescue.co

Rescue.co runs East Africa's largest emergency response network, and now Southern Africa too: Zambia, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa. We have completed more than 65,000 lifesaving missions.

Our in-house CAD is the system behind every emergency we handle. Various other apps support our EMS ecosystem and clients. All of it, the dispatch screens, the apps in the field, the integrations with partners, sits on infrastructure you would help shape and run.

We are about 60 people. Dispatch and operations work from our Nairobi office. Engineering is spread across Europe. Small enough that your decisions show up in production the same week, big enough that they matter.

How we work

Remote first. Engineering is distributed, and operations sits in Nairobi on East Africa Time (UTC+3). We would like a good chunk of your day to overlap with ours, so anywhere from West to East Africa or Western Europe to Eastern Europe works best, but open to people in the Western Hemisphere depending on your available hours.

Small team, high ownership. You report to the founder, you sit with the leadership team, and decisions get made in days, not quarters. Nobody will ask you to write a deck to get a change approved. Collaboration with the team and regular meetings for alignment are a daily requirement.

Meeting-light weeks besides our daily alignment call, so people can actually build. We lean on written communication wherever it works, and we expect you to be good at both written and interpersonal communication.

How to apply

Use this form to submit a one-page CV including links to portfolio or GitHub and LinkedIn or any personal pages where appropriate.

What happens next: a call with the founder, a technical conversation with our engineers about situational scenarios and stack, then a final conversation about how we would work together. We aim to go from first call to offer in a few weeks, but we are open to waiting for the right candidate.

If you are reading this and thinking "that's me, but I'm missing one of the must-haves", apply anyway and tell us which one.

We are recruiting a team of medics and operators. These individuals will be responsible for assessing, treating, stabilising, monitoring, and providing exceptional care to patients.

You will work closely with the Rescue.co Dispatch Centre to ensure coordinated, high-quality care from response through to handover.

The role requires strong clinical competency and a customer-service mindset. Patients, families, and healthcare professionals should be treated with empathy, dignity, professionalism, and respect throughout the patient journey.

This role operates as part of Rescue.co's standby ambulance model. The Medic and operators are assigned to a specific standby location and remains there with the assigned ambulance and crew while on duty, unless dispatched to a case or directed otherwise by Rescue.co.

This is an operational and clinical role. Successful applicants will be credentialed by Rescue.co to provide clinical services on Rescue.co partner ambulances at their approved level of clinical qualification. Employment remains with the partner ambulance provider.

Every day, our dispatch systems connect people in urgent need with medical, security, and roadside assistance, faster, smarter, and with more reliability than ever before. Today, our platform coordinates the largest network of ambulances, security, air evac and roadside responders in East Africa.

As a Dispatch Centre Roadside Agent, you are both the first point of contact and the coordinator of roadside assistance cases. You will handle incoming calls from customers in need and take full ownership of each case from initial intake to resolution by dispatching and coordinating the appropriate roadside service providers. You will help problem solve roadside and vehicle issues from our 24/7 emergency call centre, and collaborate with your medical and response colleagues on resolving emergencies.

You will be calm under pressure, highly organized, and action-oriented, ensuring every customer receives fast, reliable, and professional roadside support.

This role requires strong communication, quick decision-making, and the ability to manage multiple cases simultaneously while maintaining accuracy and empathy.

The Dispatch Centre Manager will lead and optimise the performance of dispatch agents, ensuring exceptional customer experiences and operational efficiency.

This role drives service excellence, making sure every interaction meets performance targets and SLAs. You'll oversee team performance through coaching, training, and resource allocation, while continuously analysing dispatch and call centre metrics to spot trends, fix bottlenecks, and push improvements.

As an Emergency Dispatch Call Taker, you are the first voice our customers hear in an emergency. You will be calm in difficult situations, the voice of reassurance, and the critical first step in delivering lifesaving assistance.

You will coordinate, communicate, and control the flow of information and action between people in distress, responders, and hospitals, ensuring timely and effective outcomes.

This role requires quick thinking, empathy, and strong communication skills. A medical background is an advantage but not required. What matters most is your ability to handle high-pressure situations, comprehend various types of phone communications and diverse information sets, understand what is known or not known about a situation, and make fast, accurate decisions to help guide callers with professionalism and care.

Experience level: entry level university graduates to 2+ years of customer service or call centre experience.

As an Emergency Dispatch Shift Lead, you keep operations running smoothly during your assigned shift. You support the Dispatch Centre Manager in overseeing dispatch decision-making and protocol adherence, but most importantly, you are responsible for how each case is handled during your shift, and making sure every caller gets an exceptional experience. You're the person dispatchers turn to for real-time guidance and problem-solving.

The environment is high-pressure and fast-paced. You'll need to make quick decisions, adapt on the fly, handle emergencies, support the dispatch team as they handle cases, and run clean handovers between shifts.

This role is critical to Rescue.co's commitment to operational excellence. You'll play a pivotal part in hitting team goals while building a collaborative, high-performing culture on the floor.

This role needs advanced medical knowledge, especially in maternity, neonatal, and trauma cases. You'll guide patients, ambulance teams, and hospital teams on our protocols with calm authority, and you'll need to pick up new systems and standards fast.

You'll also support complex incidents by delivering effective pre-arrival care, coordinating resources safely, and assisting with inter-hospital transfer communication.

We are recruiting energetic, professional, and people-centered medical responders to support event medical coverage for various events, gatherings and outings.

This is a part-time, occasional contract position with a limited time commitment — a great way to test out working with Rescue.co and get to know our team without locking in continuous hours. That said, event availability is required for at least some events, so schedule flexibility is a must.

Starting with several events in June and July, we will call upon these medics to join events, represent our brand, and assist with medical event duties — helping clients who are dehydrated, treating minor injuries, checking in on attendees, and sharing about our work and offerings.

This role is fun and social, with exposure to interesting activities and events. It's a great chance to learn new skills, enjoy a light atmosphere while contributing to our mission, and meet the wider Rescue.co team.

Join the field operations team in expanding and strengthening Rescue.co's lifesaving emergency response network.

The role also involves continuous improvement of onboarding and partner engagement, monitoring partner performance, and reporting key outcomes to your managemer. It requires a proactive, organised professional with strong communication skills and a commitment to consistency, integrity, grit and effective partnership management.
