I think it's CRUD endpoints all the way down 95% of the time unfortunately. I'm not sure how old you are, but early in my career I jumped around a lot feeling the same way and that if I could find a company or technology that I was passionate about, I would be less bored, less burned out, happier, etc...

Overall what I've found is that the things I find interesting and enjoy working on in an engineering capacity almost have 0 overlap with things that will make money or turn into a business of some kind. Instead of continuing my search to find the perfect balance of company mission statement, interesting technology, competent and friendly coworkers (culture), and pay, I optimize for trying to get at least 2 out of 4 of these, if I can get 3 it means it's a great fit for me. Of these, company culture has made the biggest impact on my overall happiness.

There is some truth that joining a smaller company or a startup to wear multiple hats can fix this somewhat, but I would advise against doing this unless you either really strongly believe in whatever the company is doing, or really strongly want to learn something you feel is only possible to learn at that company. Otherwise you will end up working 60 hour weeks making CRUD endpoints for someone panicking about how to raise the next round of funding or get to the goal of the month that the investors have said is important now.

Until you find some field or area of technology that lights your hair on fire in excitement, keep CRUDing my friend. Realize that you are exchanging your time for money at your job and treat it as such. Save the interesting things for your personal time or if you believe strongly enough in it, start your own company and have someone else CRUD for you ;)
