No, this isn’t possible. You can grant a custom badge through the API though. See [Grant a custom badge through the API](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-grant-a-custom-badge-through-the-api/103270) for details about that.

You can [create a group that adds a group flair to its members’ avatars](https://meta.discourse.org/t/create-a-group-that-automatically-adds-associated-flair-to-its-members-avatars/82700). This is how the Discourse Team flair is displayed on this forum. To automatically grant a _badge_, instead of an avatar flair, to members of a specific group, you could either write a badge query, or you could grant the badge through the API.
