Scott Polhemus is a full-stack engineering manager with 12 years of experience building web platforms that inform and empower users, currently leading the CivicEngine team after Civitech’s acquisition of BallotReady. He combines hands-on development and product-minded architecture with experience scaling distributed teams across agencies and consumer brands, from political campaigns to e-commerce and creative startups. Scott has repeatedly moved between hands-on engineering and leadership roles—shipping rapid prototypes and production systems while also owning recruiting, training, and client-facing technical strategy. His work on voter information and civic engagement tools reflects a consistent focus on using technology for public good and clear storytelling. Based in North Adams, MA, he brings a digital media BA and a practiced ability to translate complex requirements into pragmatic technical plans. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic, design-aware engineer who still enjoys diving into code to unblock the team.
