You could apply to an MFE program.
You could ask around your company for changing roles, even if it takes a pay cut.
You could get a recruiter and go on interviews to see what happens.
I would start w/ the second. Ask around to find out what types of work quants do in your company. See what it would take to cross over.

We talk about this sort of thing in our Guide.
I guess you're going for a quant developer position ?
The amount of "quant" in this is very variable, you can get some positions merely be having read and understood Wilmott if your C++ is good enough.
"good" in this context includes STL with some threading and Boost.
Sussing out XLLS also is good.
