I would love to know how to recruit a professional maintainer. This is a tremendously difficult skill set.
* Specifically mention that you're after someone with nontrivial open source experience/maintenance experience and you'll accept it in place of Leetcode
* Some inkling that you've thought about titles/HR considers "maintainer" as experience
* Provide the expected time commitments from interviews upfront. Likewise for compensation.
* Expect part-time or contract work. If full-time, explicitly allocate time to their OSS.
* Remote, if part-time or contracting
* Async friendly. I've had 1 "real-time" meeting in OSS (total).
* Post a spec/contact details in a reply to this comment, or "Who is Hiring"
