Hire developers
Solidity is a small pool with a wide honesty gap. Plenty of people list it after a tutorial or a hackathon, but the ones who have shipped contracts that hold real money, and lived through an audit, are rare and know it. The risk here is not slow features, it is a single bug that drains funds with no undo, so hiring for confidence over caution is the trap. Ask what network and standards they actually deployed to, because ERC-20 on a testnet and a live DeFi protocol on mainnet are different jobs.
Look for someone who thinks in terms of what an attacker does with the contract, not just whether it compiles: reentrancy, integer handling, access control, and the cost of every storage write. Strong candidates talk about gas as a design constraint and can explain why they used a specific pattern (checks-effects-interactions, pull over push payments) rather than naming it. Ask for a real audit finding or a bug they caught before deploy, and what the fix and the upgrade path looked like. If they have never worried about how to change a contract that is already live and holding funds, they have not done the hard part yet.
