Eventually you would meet people and discuss technical stuff and unofficial mentor/mentee relationships may develop. Most places won't have an assigned mentor. Your boss (if he/she is technical) may become a mentor but it doesn't always happen.

Coffee/Break room chats and other social gatherings would help in building rapport with other devs and eventually you would be learning from each other. Unless the place you work is extremely toxic, I would say just give it time. My 2c.

You need to take advantage of the proximity and network! Preferably upwards. Befriending the QA guy may make your life easier now, but he's not going to be the one who can offer you a job in 5 years time.
