I am actually in a similar situation. I work at a big, well known and well paying company (so the salary itself is not the issue).
I am just so much more productive as everyone else, for instance it happens often that I produce a lot and then feel like I am overloading my team-mates with pull-requests etc.
What I am struggling with most is that I don't have any incentives to give my best and I'm oftentimes simply bored, because there are not enough high visibility projects for me to work on. I've tried picking-up bits and pieces that are left behind and need to get done, but this does not create any visibility for me and is not valued by others. And I am too tired of stretching things out just so that I have something to do during the week.
So like OP I would also like to find a way to be paid for projects and not the time I put into implementing them.
I would be happy to connect with anyone else in a similar situation, email is in the profile.
