We're muchbetteradventures.com - looking to expand our product team now that the worst of the pandemic has (hopefully) passed. We're an adventure travel company - We connect the world of adventure, providing people with hassle-free access to unique adventures from local hosts, inspiring content and a growing global community of likeminded adventurers. B-Corp application in progress.
We're 100% remote, mostly UK based, but a few in the EU. When we're not working, most of us are doing something active and outdoors. For the next co. meetup in May, we're off to kayak and wild-camp around a Norwegian Fjord with the whole team and board :)
get me (CTO/Co-founder) at guy [at] mbad.co with any questions you might have.
Much Better Adventures | Frontend Engineer | UK / EU | REMOTE / ONSITE | Fulltime
muchbetteradventures.com is an online adventure travel marketplace. We're looking for a new full time front end engineer to join our team.
The front end is mostly React / Redux with a lot of Material UI, and we're starting to adopt Typescript.
We have two hubs in the UK - London and Bristol, and a distributed team based in France (French Alps), Budapest, Edinburgh and elsewhere in the UK.
You would be joining a small team and expected to chip in with ideas and opinions outside of the day to day - from database design to what the next adventure we sell should be. You will have a passion for the outdoors as well as coding up usable, well designed interfaces for both our customer facing website, and back office tools for our hosts and internal admin and CX team. You will not be intimidated by producing beautiful, usable UIs based off simple wireframes and sketches.
Whilst this is primarily a front end role, the ideal candidate will not be afraid to get into some back end coding work - Python / Django. Postgresql, ElasticSearch etc.
You should also be based in the UK or EU. Both from a timezone perspective, and the ability to get to one of our hub offices a few times a year without it breaking the bank.
Please no agencies, and please.. if your idea of a great weekend doesn't involve some sort of outdoor activity then do NOT apply. We're all skiers, hikers, bikers etc. Our next full team meetup is a 2 day bike-packing trip in April. Hopefully you get the picture :)
Nice work. I'm currently in the process of building something similar to this and Fathom - mostly out of curiosity - I will ping a link up here when it's ready for a test-drive.
The current setup is similar to Fathom in that I temporarily track a user session by generating a unique hash for the user, then, if that hash has already been seen in the past 30 mins, we move hash to the latest page view instance and can increment a pages viewed counter for the session. We can't tell which pages you've been on in the past, only that you started a session at X time, and viewed N pages, with the last view at Y time.
Incidentally, I had a PoC for the data ingest running as a Cloudflare Worker using their KV storage. What could be interesting about that is that there'd be zero third-party widget code to inject into a webpage: You'd log the pageview in the worker and pass on the request.
But the market for those Wordpress users who want to paste a few lines of JS snippet into their site would be lost. And it would add a few 100ms to each request you want to log.
Interim PM and senior engineer roles | UK/EU | Remote / Onsite in London or Bristol.
www.muchbetteradventures.com
PM Role:
Looking for someone to both be an interim PM, and to work with our current lead engineer to turn them into our PM. 3-6 month contract - preferably London or Bristol based.
Snr Engineer:
We're a Django based site, though embarking on splitting it up into various services where sensible. Looking for a full stack web dev. Well versed in all things from React, through to Postgresql. There is more flexibility on the location for this role as we have a distributed team from the Alps to Toronto. You will be required in London or Bristol quarterly.
Both these jobs are brand new - please get in touch direct [email protected] if you are interested and want to know more, along with the trip we sell that you'd love to do as part of your onboarding :)
We are all hikers, skiers, mountain bikers, kayakers etc, and don't plan on hiring anyone who doesn't share our passion for the outdoors.
Much Better Adventures | Full Stack Django | London / REMOTE (eu only!)
Much Better Adventures (http://www.muchbetteradventures.com/) is fast becoming the leading marketplace for one of the fastest growing sectors in travel - adventure. We're on a mission to inspire people to live a more adventure-rich life, help a global community of local and independent businesses to make a great living doing what they love, and protect the planet’s most inspiring natural landscapes in the process.
We are looking for a full-stack Django developer with a leaning towards the devops side of life. Although you will be joining a small product team and be expected to muck in all over the stack at first, for the right candidate there will be opportunities to carve out a leading role in the infrastructure side of the business in the years to come.
We offer flexible remote (EU only!) working or a desk in our London office.
Salary ~£50-70k & 30 days paid annual leave, including 5 days to experience an adventure or two.
The fine is up to 20M euro or 4% whichever is greater AFAIK.. and will match the seriousness of the offence. ie a small side project who refuses to honour a forget me request is highly unlikely to be fined 20m euro. However, one that deliberately mines the web for huge amounts of PID without consent and profits from it now has a new regulation to watch out for.
Another way to phrase this question is “what use is the bookmark file without a user to use it?”
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with storing anonymous data: a log of bookmarked urls for instance. So long as there’s no way to trace back who they belong to if that person wants to be forgotten.
One of the clearest things I’ve read on The subject.
It is a lot of common sense. Questions over the right to be forgotten vs tax / legal issues come under the “legitimate interest” clause I think. You should delete their data except where you are required to keep it. And that may mean deleting preferences and browsing history, but not their name and address if you are required to keep it.
I intend to implement a “forget me” feature by anonymising any PID and potentially redacting things like messages between users on our system. That way we keep info for stats purposes but don’t have any way to id a person from the data we hold.
The restoring backups / storing preferences about deletion request etc in a separate DB solution is also a good idea. It shows willing to comply with the regulation as well even if it may not strictly be compliant (e.g. until the backup has synced up with the preferences DB, you still have the PID)
I think so long as you show a lot of willing and progress towards being compliant and take all practical and reasonable steps to do so, then it shouldn’t be too much of a burden.
