OnBuy, which describes itself as the ‘world’s fastest-growing marketplace’, is looking to hire a ‘Tech Tester’ to give feedback on a range of electronic goods, including TVs, cameras, smart watches, headphones and home cinema systems.

The lucky applicant will be sent the gear to road-test at home, and they’re expected to take snaps and produce a 200-word report reviewing the merchandise.

The job description explained: “If successful, you’ll receive a selection of products from the site every month to make yourself familiar with, in order to improve the product page onsite.

“You’ll be required to thoroughly test each product, focusing on design, performance and durability, as well as discussing qualities including sound, display, functionality and value for money.”

It’s important to us that the individual be a normal everyday tech enthusiast
