Surely the field of cryptography relies on conscientious and competent actors developing solutions that are robust in the face of malicious actors.

I am skeptical that there are software development practices that will allow me to hire a team of feckless incompetents and have them develop quality software. If you know of any I'm interested to hear about them.

That’s not necessary. The broader system of society, communication, and the encouragement of development of open solutions to this problem means your team of incompetents just doesn’t even need to solve them.
