Company Overview
Red 6 is an innovative Augmented Reality (AR) technology startup leading the way in synthetic air combat training. Our primary technology, supporting our ATARS product, enables pilots to simulate the cognitive challenges of flying while accessing realistic, scalable training in dynamic outdoor environments.
The Role
Red 6 is seeking a highly experienced Senior Backend Software Engineer to join our dynamic team in Santa Monica, CA. The Senior Backend Software Engineer will develop the services, APIs, and core system components that power ATARS, Red 6’s augmented reality system that integrates synthetic, threat-relevant training into live flights for fighter pilots.
This role focuses on building the backend systems that support the desktop applications used to plan and configure AR training scenarios and to debrief ATARS flights. The engineer will develop production services responsible for scenario planning, real-time session state management, telemetry ingestion, and the data platforms that enable post-flight review and analysis.
In addition to core backend engineering responsibilities such as authentication, data modeling, performance optimization, and system monitoring, the Senior Backend Software Engineer will productionize LLM-enabled capabilities when appropriate. These capabilities may include tool and action execution, workflow orchestration, retrieval systems, and tracing for AI-assisted workflows. The role requires close collaboration with cross-functional engineering teams to deliver reliable, secure, and high-performance backend systems supporting mission-critical pilot training environments.
