This is the type of thing where it helps to hire the right people from the start. You hire a bunch of leetcode experts, but never stop to ask if, besides conjuring data structures and algos in their minds they actually can build the thing you want to build. If your people know how to build the thing, you don't need to sacrifice growth, it gets built right from the start.
Sometimes you need engineers that have some other type of education, maybe accounting, maybe finance, maybe biology. I always thought that the most important part of my career was understanding every industry I built for, deeply, and knowing experts in those areas so you could ask the really important questions. That is problem solving and engineering. The rest is programming/coding.
