Great advice, and it could help you. But here's what works:
Find a place where you have an "in", where you know someone or have a
friend that knows someone. Personal contacts are the only way I've found
that work consistently. If someone in the company says you're a good
person, then all sorts of requirements melt away or morph to conform to
you. Of course you should be at least reasonably qualified for the
position. But you can be *perfectly* qualified and not get a nibble. The
personal contact in the company is the best possible bait!
Anything else is a crap shoot at best.

Erik,

Clean up your resume and polish your portfolio. You have something in
Github and some web site(s) you've worked on, right?
Ignore anything that has in the title "Sr." "Senior", or "Architect".
Read the descriptions and find something you'd like to do. You should
have at least some of the qualifications they are looking for. Job
descriptions usually contain their entire wish list.
Study the company. Know what their product does, who their target
customer is, competition, any trivia you can dig up.
Go for it.
Getting told no a few times won't kill you. Worst case, you should get
from them what you need to learn to become employable by them.
Good luck.
