Architecting for Agents

Since 2018, Julie Amundson has been an AI infrastructure leader, across Netflix, Google Cloud and an independent consulting practice launched in 2026. Her work spans the full stack — from TPU and GPU orchestration at scale on Kubernetes up through end-to-end data science productivity in Metaflow. At Google Cloud, she was on the GKE AI Infrastructure team, working on the schedulers and accelerator primitives that enterprises use to run distributed training and inference. At Netflix, she contributed to Metaflow and the notebook platform that data scientists across the company used to take models from prototype to production. Earlier, Julie was a founder of Order of Magnitude Labs, building Active Inference agents; before that, she helped build Netflix's first-generation streaming service and launch it in over 50 countries between 2008 and 2012. The thread throughout her career has been getting research-stage systems to run reliably in production at scale.
