Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past
Walk me through a UiPath automation you built and supported in production.
What they are checking: Whether they have carried bots through real production support, including failures and changes in target systems.
Tell me about an automation you owned independently from discovery to production. What did you learn?
What they are checking: Whether they can own moderately complex solutions end to end, as the role requires.
How do you work with quality engineers to test an automation before release?
What they are checking: Whether they see testing as a partnership and plan test data and edge cases with QA early.
What would you do
A business partner hands you a process design that will be very hard to maintain. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they push back constructively and propose a better design before building something fragile.
An automation fails overnight and a business team needs its output by nine in the morning. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they can recover quickly, communicate clearly and then fix the root cause after the urgent need is met.
About the work
How do you decide whether a process should be automated with Power Automate, UiPath or a direct API integration?
What they are checking: Whether they choose tools by stability, scale and maintenance cost rather than defaulting to what they know best.
How do you make an automation resilient when the application it interacts with changes its screens without notice?
What they are checking: Whether they design selectors, exception handling and alerts so bots fail gracefully instead of silently.
How do you apply software engineering practices like version control, testing and code review to Power Platform or UiPath work?
What they are checking: Whether they treat low-code automation as real software with the same discipline and quality standards.
How do you handle credentials and sensitive data inside an automation?
What they are checking: Whether they use secure vaults and least privilege rather than hard-coding secrets in workflows.
How would you measure whether an automation actually delivered the value the business expected?
What they are checking: Whether they track hours saved, error rates or cycle time after launch instead of assuming success.
