Need advice on "Technical" Interview Round

Answers from seniors only

So after having applied to a gazillion jobs in this market, it seems like somehow, I cleared the 1st round – where I was interviewed by a UX Researcher (has a PhD in the subject, intense questions, very rigorous).

Some context – I have been working as the UX Architect of a Healthcare and MedTech startup for 2 years (total 6 years of experience in UX & UI), working on HMS and EHR systems. I also worked on their Mobile App for Patients, Labs Hub, EPHS, etc. Now, I'm transitioning into a proper Senior Designer as I move onto the next role. I have already led teams before, but this is even bigger.

When I got the call from the HR of this company, she mentioned that this is going to be a "technical" round. That confused me a bit.

I saw the interviewers' panel, and it seems like there will the the Sr. DevOps Director, and the Sr. Engineering Lead, along with a dedicated Scrum Master.
I wonder what type of questions should I prepare for, since I am not a developer, and I don't think I can answer any coding-related things in-depth.

However, I do understand after my years of experience that, us designers have to work really closely with developers; so that we can deliver designs with the least friction for devs. The way to do that is through Dev-Ready handoffs, having them properly responsive, having a11y done right (with tags, ARIA, etc), design tokens, component variables, annotated prototypes, clear and organised projects, and so on.

P.S.: still grasping on primitives, tokens, and advanced variables on Figma; since I come from a non-coder background. However, I', happy to have successfully mastered Auto-Layout and CSS-grids :)

Can mentors and experienced seniors please help me on what kind of things should I prepare for?
