Have a github account. Fill it with stuff.
Have a personal site. Fill it with stuff.

Don’t worry about experience requirements. Unlike the degree requirement this does sometimes matter, but you won’t be able to tell by reading the advert so just go ahead and apply.
Prefer smaller companies. The bigger the company, the more likely it is that your resume will be screened out by some automated process before it can reach someone like me. I read peoples’ githubs; HR necessarily does not.
