Hire someone to handle the system admin duties for you first while you spend more time looking for the right fit for a Chief Technical Officer or Chief Architect. Also I would consider hiring a less senior person for your first technical hire, at least initially. If you hire the wrong person into the CTO role, they are gonna push you to refactor, re-architect, or in some cases completely re-write your code. Be very careful about who you hire into this role and make sure they have a realistic understanding of how startup quality code gets built.
