Top Tech Startups in Tennessee, US in 2027

Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. We are driven by the excitement of building technologies, inventing products, and providing services that change lives. We embrace new ways of doing things, make decisions quickly, and are not afraid to fail. We have the scope and capabilities of a large company, and the spirit and heart of a small one. Together, Amazonians research and develop new technologies from Amazon Web Services to Alexa on behalf of our customers: shoppers, sellers, content creators, and developers around the world. Our mission is to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Our actions, goals, projects, programs, and inventions begin and end with the customer top of mind. You'll also hear us say that at Amazon, it's always "Day 1."​ What do we mean? That our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon's very first day - to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and focus on delighting our customers.

The Farmer’s Dog was founded by two dog dads who were fed up with the ever-growing gap between how pet food was marketed (Wolves! Nature! T-bone steak!) and how it was actually made (Inedible meats! Rendered powders! Extreme processing!). They wanted to make it easier for owners to care for their beloved dogs — starting with truly healthy pet food options. Our mission resonates with dog owners of all types across the country, but just as importantly, it continues to draw to our team some of the most brilliant, passionate, and caring dog people on the planet. We come from a wide array of personal and professional backgrounds. Your role could involve developing systems to safely and swiftly deliver fresh food to doorsteps around the country, or creating products and experiences that inspire dog people to rethink a century-old habit. But wherever you find your fit, we guarantee you’ll come to work every day and immerse yourself in an unmatched, values-driven company culture of curiosity, fun, and dog hair. If this sounds like an environment in which you’d thrive, we’d love to hear from you. Roles we’re actively seeking to fill in both our NYC and Nashville offices are listed below, but if there isn’t anything that sounds like a great fit, we’d still love you to introduce yourself to us at [email protected]. Our one requirement? You #mustlovedogs.
