Rexford did her undergraduate studies at Princeton, earning a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering in 1991, and then moved to the University of Michigan for graduate studies in computer science and engineering, earning a master's degree in 1993 and a doctorate in 1996. Her thesis, titled "Tailoring router architectures to performance requirements in cut-through networks", was supervised by Kang G. Shin. She worked at Bell Labs for two summers as a graduate student, and then returned to what had since become AT&T Labs, working there from 1996 to 2005, when she joined the Princeton faculty.

Rexford won the ACM Grace Murray Hopper Award in 2005, for her work on the Border Gateway Protocol showing how to perform network routing subject to the different business interests of the operators of different subnetworks. She became a fellow of the ACM in 2008, a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2013, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2014.
