You are trying to hire in one of the most expensive areas IN THE WORLD. Does the compensation you're offering reflect that? Mid level engineers are obviously not hard to find. But in a market where tons of companies choose to locate themselves, and where the cost of living is massively high, engineers will tend to go where the pay is high and/or the product/tech is compelling enough to compensate for the massively high cost of living. This is to be expected, and has nothing to do with the supply of engineers.
