HeroX UX/UI Designer Challenge

HeroX is Hiring... 

We need a designer. Not a fashion designer. Not an interior designer. We need a UX/UI designer. 

So, we are leveraging the power of the crowd to find one. Or two. If we get crazy, maybe even three. 

Afterall, we really believe in the crowd. It's sort of what our platform is all about. 

About HeroX

Well, sorry to disappoint you, but... we don't fit in the traditional mold for a company. We are a virtual company. Yep, we all work from different places in the world and we meet daily on video calls. We are guided by our core values, like courage, humility, and doing things the easy way. Ultimately, we believe in unlocking the global genius and connecting real world problems with their perfect solver.
