Subnet Community Moderator & Developer Relations

About Affine

Affine is building an incentivized RL environment that pays miners for incremental improvements on tasks like program synthesis and coding. Operating on Bittensor’s Subnet 120, we’ve created a sybil-proof, decoy-proof, copy-proof, and overfitting-proof mechanism that rewards genuine model improvements. Our vision is to commoditize reasoning—the highest form of intelligence—by directing and aggregating the work of a large, non-permissioned group on RL tasks to break the intelligence sound barrier.

Overview

Affine’s strength comes from its open, global network of miners, validators, and contributors competing to advance RL. As a Community Moderator & DevRel, you’ll be the bridge between our core team and the participants building on Affine, Bittensor’s Subnet-120. Your role is to guide, educate, and support the community while ensuring discussions remain productive, transparent, and aligned with Affine’s mission. This is a hybrid role: part community steward, part technical advocate. You’ll help keep the subnet healthy and growing while lowering barriers for new researchers and engineers to join the competition. Success means a thriving, self-sustaining community where contributors are empowered to participate, compete, and innovate.

Responsibilities

• Manage communications with validators and miners, ensuring clarity, fairness, and alignment with Affine’s goals.
• Support onboarding of new participants, helping them understand how to submit, improve, and compete with models effectively.
• Moderate community discussions to remain constructive, transparent, and mission-driven.
• Translate technical updates into clear, accessible guidance for developers and contributors.
• Maintain and improve documentation, tutorials, and educational materials to support the ecosystem.
• Collect and surface community feedback to the engineering team, helping to shape future improvements.
• Champion developer and researcher needs, ensuring participation remains rewarding and accessible.

Requirements

• Experience building and engaging with technical communities (e.g., open-source, crypto, ML/AI).
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts simply and clearly.
• Familiarity with developer relations, community moderation, or technical advocacy roles.
• Understanding of decentralized networks, machine learning, or reinforcement learning (preferred).
• Comfortable balancing technical guidance with community management responsibilities.
• Proactive, collaborative mindset with the ability to foster trust and engagement across diverse stakeholders.
