About The Position

The Automation Engineering team at Parabola is the conduit through which our largest and most strategic accounts pass through on their way to unlocking the maximum value from our product. As a Senior Automation Engineer on our Growth team, you will be directly responsible for partnering with key accounts post implementation to ensure value realization continues throughout their lifecycle. Your mission is to drive sustained adoption, expansion of use cases, and measurable business impact across complex organizations. You’ll proactively monitor account usage and engagement signals, identify opportunities to deepen value, and work directly with customers to design and deploy new workflows that solve evolving business challenges. You’ll serve as a trusted partner to both technical and business stakeholders, ranging from the C-Suite to the analyst, for executive summaries, lunch-and-learns, onsite workshops, and hands-on build sessions. While you will not own commercial negotiations, you will own nearly everything else: customer strategy, technical execution, stakeholder alignment, and long-term success. This role sits at the intersection of customer success & solutions engineering, ensuring our largest customers continue to see Parabola as a core part of their operations. You’ll be the first hire in this role, building the playbook from the ground up. You’ll lead with data, move fast, and operate comfortably in ambiguity while shaping how we support our most strategic customers. You’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, and other teams to get things done.
