When recruiting I tend to look for intelligence (looking at a problem from more than one angle) and engineering mindset (leverage critical thinking to solve the problem) over a skillset (Guru level Solidity developer).

I'd appreciate hearing what you guys think are good interview questions to mine a good engineer from a group of applicants.

It is obvious that you are looking for talent rather then knowledge. So don't ask them questions like the above, instead give them a problem to solve.
Just give them some small portion of work that you will want them to do or something related to it and see how they do.

Thanks aleksej996 - sometimes people feel companies are trying to get some "free consulting" by giving them a problem to solve, but I'll try to be clear of my intentions and see what they say!
