One of my friend was in the similar situation, I managed to convince her not to quit, so she got a developer to build the MVP and test the market. The idea didn't workout but she had her job and got promoted to much better positions.

So hiring someone to develop the MVP is an option you might consider.

Any recommendations on where to find a competent developer for a MVP?

She went to some local meetups, and got lucky to find a good developer.

So attend some meetups and ask around. If anyone is interested get work samples and vet by giving him/her a short paid relevant assignment.

You can also find great remote developers, but vet them with short communication and coding assignments. Github/Linkedin/Dribbble are good resources to find someone remote.

Good luck and I hope you find someone well rounded with excellent communication skills.
