Why did you pick companies that make crud apps?
If you're good, and can prove it, you ought to have the potential to work on things that excite you.
Your experiences thus far can be seen as learning experience teaching you about what you want/need in a job. You want to engage the customer. You don't like test. You don't want to be at the whim of marketing and bosses who've never programmed.
You've already discovered it's not programming you're tired of, and that's valuable to know.
Just to throw out an idea, there's B2B software companies that employ engineers as consultants to work with client companies. You probably wouldn't like doing this for mega-enterprise, but if the client companies are small they will have a human face.
