The position is primarily remote until further notice, with onsite participation required at Commission facilities in Middletown, Pennsylvania, including one week per month when scheduled and additional activities during project milestones and post-Go-Live support. Candidates must reside within the Continental United States. A full-day onsite orientation and personal equipment pickup are required; equipment will not be shipped, and orientation or interview travel will not be reimbursed. Candidates must complete the required background checks and participate in interviews without AI assistance, scripts, or external prompts.

• Validate application behavior under concurrent users, high-volume API traffic, batch processing, and large-scale SAP financial operations.
• Perform end-to-end performance testing of CRM-to-SAP and SAP-to-CRM integrations, including billing requests, account updates, financial updates, invoice status, and customer data synchronization.
• Validate synchronous and asynchronous integration patterns, APIs, message queues, and batch interfaces.
• Monitor response times, throughput, error rates, resource utilization, and system saturation points.
• Analyze test results across SAP, CRM, integration, analytics, and infrastructure layers to identify bottlenecks.
