A lot of companies aren't prepared for junior or even mid level devs. I'm job hunting and the amount of senior and staff level positions out there compared to jr/mid is sobering. If you think it's salvageable, make a learning plan and share it with your boss. But it might be best to start leetcoding now. Best of luck, friend.

I never got that bit tbh. Where do they think the seniors come from?

Wish I knew so I could find a job there.

Real answer: it's cheaper to wait and hire senior levels (or outsource because you can't find qualified candidates) than to hire someone who needs training then may leave after you've trained them.
