In the beginning, you need the person who knows how to solve the problem. They are harder to find.
If you are pressured to grow quickly, you might be tempted to lower the bar. You can, as long as you understand that the person who knows how to solve the problem is still critically important, because they will be telling people which algo to use.
I think every company that uses tech needs at least one of these people to start with.
