About RedSky Engineering

We started as a VR arcade. Now we ship software.

RedSky Engineering started in 2016 when our founders built a VR arcade powered by their own cloud-based tracking software. When it closed in 2020, the software side of the business took over. Since then, we’ve stayed intentionally small and senior, shipping software for companies like Mixhers, Route, Troomi, and Green Compass.
