In between quant and dev

Hi all

Currently working at a Non-US IB (1-3 YOE) for a trading desk developing/maintaining pricing models, risk dashboards/hedging strategies and other automations. I'd like to move to a IB/fund in NYC/Chicago. I work in Python, C#, C++ however feels like I am in-between quant and dev where I'm not specialized in low-latency/systems programming or doing complex math.

Desk developer, strategist, what other names is this position known as? What will the interview process be like? What might make my chances more realistic at landing a job at one of the US financial hubs or is it better to transition to a "true" quant/dev/trader?

Thank you
