About the team
The Routing Plane team is part of the AWS Direct Connect software organization. We own and operate the systems responsible for Metering, BgpSpeaker, and RouteService - the backbone of how Direct Connect advertises routes, meters customer traffic for billing, and ensures routing correctness across the global AWS network.
Our systems operate at the intersection of networking and distributed systems, processing millions of route updates and metering events daily. We work closely with network engineering, other DX software teams, and AWS infrastructure teams to deliver a reliable, scalable service that enterprise customers depend on for their most critical workloads.
We are a small, high-impact team based in Northern Virginia where every engineer has significant ownership and influence

We value operational excellence, technical depth, and a bias for action. We believe in building systems that are correct by design, observable by default, and resilient under failure.
