Amazon strives to be Earth's most customer-centric company where people can find and discover virtually anything they want to buy online. By giving customers more of what they want - low prices, vast selection, and convenience - Amazon continues to grow and evolve as a world-class e-commerce platform.
Founded by Jeff Bezos, the Amazon.com website started in 1995 as a place to buy books because of the unique customer experience the Web could offer book lovers. Bezos believed that only the Internet could offer customers the convenience of browsing a selection of millions of book titles in a single sitting. During the first 30 days of business, Amazon fulfilled orders for customers in 50 states and 45 countries - all shipped from his Seattle-area garage.
Amazon's evolution from Web site to e-commerce partner to development platform is driven by the spirit of innovation that is part of the company's DNA. The world's brightest technology minds come to Amazon.com to research and develop technology that improves the lives of shoppers and sellers around the world.

At Tactics, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to stand sideways on a board. Our mission is to provide our customers with the best selection of gear, shoes, apparel, and accessories to help them get outside and have fun. With a rich history that spans over two decades, Tactics has evolved into a leading online retailer. Our journey began with a small brick-and-mortar store in Eugene, Oregon, serving the local skateboarding and snowboarding community. As our reputation for quality products and exceptional customer service grew, so did our reach. Today, we proudly serve customers worldwide, offering an extensive range of products from the most trusted brands in the industry.
Our philosophy is simple: we look for candidates who authentically love the skate & snow industry and the products we sell as much as we do. We value a commitment to excellence, a growth mindset, and a willingness to never settle for the status quo. We seek candidates who positively represent Tactics by being brand ambassadors and reinforcing our culture of creating a fun and welcoming atmosphere.
