Otherwise, next time you have the "take more ownership" conversation don't hesitate to ask for specifics where you can do that. Development goals shouldn't be guess work.
For your mid-tier to junior technologists look for individuals that are trying to transfer into tech roles and don't have alot of experience BUT can demonstrate real ownership of problems in whatever business they were previously in.
For mid/jr level people one of the most important things you can provide is a clear path that shows your company is willing to invest training in your software & common industry tools.
As for finding them: check out your local technology meetup groups (online or in person), look for recommendations from your social network, check about posting opportunities with local universities/colleges.
The underlying issue was that my priority alignment is heavily skewed towards delivering solutions to technical problems. On discussing with my leadership, while they appreciate that I'm hands on their read was my organizational experience and "oversight" for major projects was the most valued.
Knowing that really helped me to relax a bit and understand that I won't always be working late nights to deliver some sweet resiliency workflow and thats fine.
TLDR: sync with your leadership and ask what value you bring so you can align your time to their priorities. Warning, this may not be a fun conversation.
Edit: this is industry specific, withdrawing 60% skepticism.
