If you’re a keen Instagrammer who loves to travel, Netflix has just cooked up your dream job.

To apply for one of the four “grammaster” positions, all you have to do is follow Netflix’s Instagram account and hashtag your best three photos with #grammasters3 by March 6. Oh, and you have to be 21 or over to apply.

“We’re looking for TV and movie fans with a talent for taking pictures,” the video streaming giant says in the job posting, adding that it wants snappers to select images “that show off your interests or passions.”

The successful applicants will spend 14 days scooting around Europe shooting images of iconic movie and TV locations for Netflix’s Instagram account.

The deal means you could also be asked to give PR interviews and make media appearances, so only apply if you’re cool with being in front of the lens as well as behind it.

Netflix plans to choose 25 finalists by the end of next week – check its Instagram feed to find out if you’re one of the lucky ones.

The group will then be whittled down to the final four via the submission of more Instagram images and, of course, a job interview (via Skype). The final selection will be made by the end of this month.

Snag the gig and you’re all set for a memorable month in Europe courtesy of Netflix. Good luck!

On Wednesday, Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, announced via a tweeted video three of the photo-sharing app's latest features. In the video (and its tweet), Mosseri explains that these three features -- product tags, enhanced people tags, and adjusting rankings for originality -- are part of an effort to support creators and ensure they "get all the credit they deserve."
