Assuming this engineer is fairly valuable to your startup due to the non-technical co-founders, you might have to give up more than normal (0.5-1.5% equity). I don't have a number in mind, but I'd be interested in hearing other people's thoughts on this.
That looked like a very good video but I could barely view it, horrible quality - this looks like the same video but the quality seems to be much better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRfV0YfvDP4

Guys, thoughts?
Mint's CEO gave a talk that covers this:

His first engineer got ~$50K + 2% IIRC.

That's actually pretty much in the ballpark (0.5-1.5%)
