If you are surrounded by talented people, in a positive work environment, you are doing better than the vast majority of the workforce. Most people hate their jobs and are surrounded by dicks. A good work environment is a huge benefit that you won't realise you miss until you give it up. I would take "slightly below average" pay for a positive workplace any day. Like others have said, talk to your manager. Don't just say "I'm bored and want exciting work". Ask if you can have more of a challenge. Ask if you can shadow one of your talented co-workers to learn more. Ask what other problems is your manager trying to solve. Take some initiative, look at the business more holistically, and add value by improving some part of the workflow or tooling.
