Announcing Autonomys’ New On-Demand Ambassador Onboarding

Calling all aspiring Ambassadors! The Subspace Foundation is excited to announce the Autonomys Ambassador Program is shifting to an open, skills-based application process tailored to the needs of the project. Apply to join our global community of Autonaut Ambassadors, ascend the ranks through contribution, and receive $AI3 rewards.

Autonomys Ambassador Program

History

Subspace launched the global Ambassador Program and onboarded its inaugural cohort in 2022, catalyzing rapid community growth. The program has successfully onboarded several cohorts since then, most recently in Q3 2024. The ~80 Ambassadors that now support Autonomys range in skillset from content creators and multi-language community managers to developers and technical support agents. We are immensely grateful for all their hard work.

On-Demand Onboarding

Through the Ambassadors’ own unique, iteratively developed internal governance framework, the community collectively decided to reform the Ambassador onboarding process in Q4 2024. As a result, the Subspace Foundation is moving from quarterly cohort-based onboarding to a new on-demand application process where the program will select ambassadors from the available pool of applicants based on their skillset and the current requirements of the Autonomys project.

This on-demand approach will streamline and bring greater flexibility to the onboarding process for both Ambassadors and Autonomys, and ensures that Ambassadors can join and thrive at their own pace, while also meeting the needs of our growing program. We encourage applications from individuals of diverse backgrounds who are able to showcase their skills and experiences, irrespective of their qualifications.

New Ambassadors

At any given time, Lead Ambassadors can select the required number and skillset of any new Ambassadors, in coordination with their teams during their bi-weekly meetings. Lead Ambassadors then contact the Program Manager, who initiates the onboarding process by consulting the dataset of applications from the open application form and inviting a select number of applicants based on the requirements.

Selected applicants become Apprentice Ambassadors who are required to complete their Educational Plan within four weeks, culminating in the submission of their mini-project. At the end of each week, Apprentice Ambassadors complete an assessment to ensure their understanding and readiness. Each Apprentice Ambassador is assigned an experienced volunteer Mentor who provides them with guidance, support and feedback throughout the onboarding process.

At the end of the fourth week, the Ambassador’s Mentor and the Program Manager meet to decide whether to allow the Apprentice into the Ambassador Program. Regular All-Hands events connect newly approved ambassadors with their peers and experienced ambassadors, building internal community relationships.

This equips every Autonomys Ambassador with the necessary tools, knowledge, and resources to effectively represent our program from day one. Mentors also provide feedback on the onboarding process itself, and the Lead Education & Content Ambassador and Program Manager update the Educational Plan every quarter, allowing for continuous improvement and adaptation.

How to Apply

Submit this open application form.
(Tip: Showcase your skills to ensure your application stands out)
Ambassadors will select your application and invite you to the Program if your skills meet the needs of the project.
Selected applicants are required to complete a 4-week Educational Plan and mini-project as Apprentice Ambassadors.
After 4 weeks and successful completion of your Educational Plan and mini-project, the Ambassador team will decide whether you have been accepted to the Ambassador Program.
If successful, you will be onboarded to the full team of Autonomys Ambassadors via an All-Hands event.

We look forward to welcoming a new wave of ambassadors and continuing to build a vibrant, empowered community!
