In my experience, the problems given to juniors are often open ended “improve this” or “fix this” type projects, but smaller scope or lower priority things that more senior devs would just never get to.

I will say though, needing to socialize across other teams to understand the problem and drive the correct solution does strike me as more mid/senior level work.

In my experience, those are the worst sorts of jobs to give juniors if you want actually throughout though. They need direction, releasable pieces, etc. they don’t know how to break something apart into small, releasable parts yet. That’s a major thing more experienced devs can teach them.
