If you want good coders look for resumes with startup experience. You don't survive as a senior developer at a startup without being being able to write code under pressure.
If you want someone who can glue various systems while cross communicating to various stakeholders look for someone at a larger company.
If you want both, look for both sets of experience on the resume.
People with 10+ will filter out positions that won't succeed at better than you can filter them out.

Lots of code that's written under pressure isn't good code. It's code that barely works and is hard to maintain. For a startup that's trying to get an MVP out quickly (and may not be around in a couple of years), that may be just what they need. But a huge company like Google needs developers who can write software that's reliable, performs well and is maintainable for years after the original developer is gone.
