People can always find excuses to boot candidates.
I would just back-track from a shipped product date, and try to guess who we needed to get there... given the scope of requirements.
Generally, process people from a commercially "institutionalized" role are useless for solving unknown challenges. They will leave something like an SAP, C#, or MatLab steaming pile right in the middle of the IT ecosystem.
One could check out Aerospike rather than try to write their own version (the dynamic scaling capabilities are very economical once setup right.)
