Actually you are looking for a lot of versatile experiences combined.
Talent is unrelated to experience. You could find talent through testing but experienced people in crypto are rare.
A good programmer can learn all those things but since everything involves real money, even good programmer are cautious; you don't have to be good, you have to perfect because even one mistake is expensive.

Anyways, my suggestion would be to put up a coding challenge and offer to hire through there.
Also, people generally do not want to work with non-technical founders, so you have to present your value too.

Try posting on hasgeek.

(Personally, I can do all of what you mention but I do not have industry experience in them. Many programmers might have read this post but it doesn't talk even a bit about what value they gain from this. Start on your own and surely interested people will join you once they see the vision.)

Person, having 1/4th requirement of what you have asked for, does not need to be a wage slave.

Based on just the last skill point you noted here I'd suggest you try the blackhatworld forums.
Lot of people there spend time reading other people's code and do much more than just understand them.

Then you have rhizome, despite the fact it's primarily for artists but given the age & prestige of that site & it's community; you are bound to find some exceptional contacts.
