My first job out of coll, task 1 was improved query perf on our test result database. job 2 was "get performance tests working again."

Both 100 % open ended problems.

That task seems perfect for a junior dev. It's open ended but low risk and not interacting with multiple teams as directly

It's different from the one described above

I'm sure some junior devs could do this but the majority wouldnt be able to
