Who we are

We are Rounded Square. We're not a typical agency. We're an engineering boutique, created by engineers for engineers. We operate like a startup in the shape of an agency. That means we keep the speed and innovation of a startup, but with the project diversity of an agency. We're not looking for 'inventory' to warm a chair. We're looking for people who — like us — enjoy building cool shit and solving complex problems without beating around the bush.

What you'll do

You own the project. Not a piece of it — all of it. You're the single point of contact for the client, the person who makes sure timelines hold, budgets stay on track, and the team has what it needs to deliver. But you're not just a coordinator. When a sprint needs an extra pair of hands for QA, you jump in. When a client asks a technical question, you answer it — because you understand the code. When something breaks on Friday afternoon, you don't file a ticket and wait; you investigate, triage, and if needed, fix it yourself.

Project: Jira + internal tools
Communication: Direct client calls, Slack, email
Technical: Read PRs, run tests, debug issues, QA, write small fixes
Domain: Agile delivery, budgeting, scope management, risk assessment

You don't need to be a senior developer. But you need to have been one at some point — or at least understand code well enough that engineers respect your technical judgment. The rest (specific PM tooling, client management finesse) you'll sharpen on the job with us.

What we're looking for

Ownership mindset

You see a problem, you don't wait for someone to assign it. The project is yours.

Client communication

You can translate between 'business speak' and 'engineering speak' without losing either side.

Technical grounding

You can read a pull request, spot a regression in staging, or write a hotfix when the team is stretched.

Budget & timeline awareness

You track burn rate, flag risks early, and propose trade-offs instead of just reporting problems.

Blended flexibility

Some weeks you're 100% coordination. Other weeks you're doing QA, writing docs, or pair-debugging with a dev. You're comfortable with both.

Compensation & Growth

Compensation is flexible and depends on your experience and output. If you prove yourself, the number goes up fast — we reward growth directly.

What else you get

Equipment & Tools

We pay for all AI tools and software that makes you faster.

Mentorship

You work directly with a team of seniors and founders.

Flexibility

Maribor office or Remote. Contractor or employment. What matters is that the work gets done.
