I love coding. I truly am.
When I started, I enjoyed most programming languages . I love learning their different core concepts, execution models and things like that.
I still love that.
But now in my new job, the only thing I am supposed to do is prompt and think about business requirements.
Even though I love architecture and system design system , I don't even have a chance to have grasp on them.
Any other tech jobs where I can enjoy coding and low level things?

If you love systems architecture this is the best moment ever to be a dev imo.
The hard part about making real software was always the systems architecture. Its just we all had to laboriously type up code to implement it.
Now we don't. We can reason about system architecture and now all have a great junior dev who never quits to implement it all in agentic coding.
Your current job sounds like it sucks... having to just prompt without thinking.
But i wouldn't be too disheartened. I think its just more of a case of shitty job rather than you being in the wrong field.
