Oh, sure, they're out there. I work in SD, so we do have access to talent (though we also struggle competing against SF.) My problem has been finding someone who is a software engineer first, e.g., not solely an academic type. We need them too as they're the people with depth in the computer vision arena, but I'm looking for someone who understands digital microscopy, image processing and analysis, but who will also write robust, production level software. It's a bit of a niche and I was fortunate enough to be exposed to it early in my career.
