If a software team includes people with very little job experience, there's a need to mentor them that goes beyond code-review. The mentor can point them to things that Google won't -- because they may not know what to look for. A mentor may also help provide perspectives that only come from experience.

That type of role is "senior", title or not.

Aside: Good mentors will also learn from those they mentor.
