Whom do you refer to as "we" if you need to find employee number one? Plenty of smart people out there, and plenty of talented people. Sometimes those go together. You should put together a description of the product or service, specifically, and describe the person you think would contribute to your goals. Remember that frameworks and languages don't describe skills or talents -- they describe tools. Then you advertise and try to find someone you can work with and take a chance, like every other employer looking for people. Since you wrote "employee" and not "cofounder" I assume you have a paying job available. Lots of people looking for work right now who got through vetting at companies with some difficult hiring filters, perhaps start there. HN has a regular "who's hiring" thread.
