Awesome analytical skills and passion for solving complex problems are actually not that common in developers. Instead of looking out for these people, focus on what they look for.
Why should they join?
Developers are humans as much as the world would like to deny it; that is the truth. They are not code monkeys born to implement business requirements. They have their passions and as an organization when their passion aligns with yours; you will have an easier time attracting top talent.

Technology
Try using a technology that has a passionate community, as your core technology.
If you end up using a technology that has a smaller community but is really great. Take time to contribute in building the community for it. Contributions can range from code, documentation, evangelism and more.
New tech experiments and avoid grunt work
Developers dread monotonous work. What they really crave for is a bit of autonomy and opportunity to learn new technology. Provide an environment where they could experiment.
Most awesome developers don’t like grunt work; build a culture where you build or use tools to eliminate grunt. A culture of continuous improvement at its core. Do things like improving dev-ops, side projects that are aligned with your organization’s mission.
