Software Developer is Test is relatively new role in IT. Industry is more used to names like QA, Test Automation Engineer, Developer. Still that kind of role distribution shows poor effectiveness and brings such things like huge suites of end to end tests as a quality gate. If you want to implement test pyramid, you might consider such kind of a role in your team. What skills this person should have? Which challengers and daily problems he/she faces? Can he/she make production code changes? These and many more other questions an auditory can learn and perhaps reconsider their daily quality assuring approach.
