I disagree with you. You should fire the engineer strategically. Firing the engineer right away does have risk. But there is a great risk long term if the person is in the team and making the team toxic which will repel engineers with better character and better fit. In a long run, it will benefit team and organisation if the person is fired. I have seen companies shutdown due to the toxicity induced by engineers like first hand. I have also been part of the interview where I was super excited about the product the org was building but rejected the offer after meeting the team due to the toxicity.
