I'm in the same boat. I lead my QA team, both the automation and the manual testers. There are about 6 QA staff to about 24 developers, so we're vastly outnumbered. I've worked tirelessly to get any sort of quality initiative as part of the SDLC as early as possible. Code reviews, pairwise coding, TDD, anything where I can "shift left" with the testing. Otherwise we would be outmanned on every release.
