California is holding more than $15 billion in unclaimed property for residents who don't know it exists. We're building the company that gets that money back to the people it actually belongs to — quickly, transparently, and without the cold-call sleaze the industry is known for. If that sounds like work worth doing, take a look at what we're hiring for below.
We're a small team — small enough that every hire shifts the shape of the company. We move fast, write things down, and care a lot about how recipients experience us. Recoupa is fully remote across the US, with quarterly in-person time at our Los Angeles hub.
Every dollar we move ends up in the pocket of someone the state already owes. The work is straightforwardly good for the people on the other end.
We write the way we talk. No jargon for jargon's sake — in code, in copy, in conversations with recipients, or with each other.
Small team, broad scope. Every role here owns something real end to end, with the autonomy to ship and the responsibility to get it right.
We get paid when claims pay out. That keeps everyone — research, engineering, ops, legal — pointed at the same thing: real claims that real people actually receive.
7 positions open right now. All roles are full-time and remote within the US unless noted.
You'll be the first set of eyes on potential matches between our database and people who might be owed money. You'll learn the mechanics of California's unclaimed-property system end to end — what counts as a strong match, what documentation states require to release funds, and how to write to recipients without sounding like a scam.

You'll set the bar for what makes a Recoupa claim solid. You'll own the research playbook — what evidence we collect, how we triangulate identity, how we handle the messy long-tail cases — and mentor a small team of junior researchers as we scale up volume and add states.

You'll ship the consumer-facing experience: the search that lets a visitor find their own unclaimed property in seconds, the claim flow that turns a stranger into a customer, and the small daily improvements that compound into a product people actually want to use.

You'll own the data pipeline that powers everything we do — the weekly refresh of California's unclaimed-property database (currently ~92 million records), the search infrastructure that makes it fast, and the multi-state expansion that makes Recoupa useful outside California. If you like working close to the data, this is the seat.

You'll be the human voice on the other side of every claim — answering questions, explaining the state's requirements in plain English, and getting people across the finish line. Most of our recipients aren't tech people. They want to know we're real, that this isn't a scam, and what they need to do next.

You'll run the outbound side of the business: deciding which recipients to contact, when, on which channels, with what message. You'll work directly inside our admin tools to build target lists, design multi-step sequences across email/SMS/letter/postcard, and watch the metrics to know what's working.

You'll keep Recoupa on the right side of every state's locator-services law as we expand. Some of this is bookkeeping (license renewals, bond filings, state-specific disclosure language), some is judgment (whether a particular claim type needs notarization, what a new state's statute actually means in practice), and some is being the person our researchers can ping when they hit something unusual.
