I have two comments.
1.) Have you ever considered that the job is fine, but you are the problem?? I am almost 40 and have been in and around this industry for a long time. To me, it sounds like your senior developers don't trust you. From what I'm reading, it sounds like you are bored and have tuned out from the job. Senior people tend to have a very good nose for juniors who have tuned out. And frankly, it is frustrating to deal with juniors like that. When I've been in that situation, I more commonly than not give them the absolute shit tasks in the hope that they won't f* up anything too critical.
2.) Has it ever occurred to you that you might not be a good fit for one of the big tech companies? I don't know you, but it sounds like you have a bit of an ego. That's fine, but in big companies, you are going to have to prove yourself before you get to work on anything truly interesting. If your ego is bigger than your contributions, you may never reach that point. There is a whole world of tech outside of the big tech companies. Consider taking a look at some smaller companies. Startups would likely give you the challenges you feel you deserve.
Good luck and I hope that this hasn't come across as too harsh. You're in a tough spot, but tough spots are perfect moments for self reflection. Take some time, think this over and trust me, this will get better.
