Not even government jobs are out of reach for you. I work as a federal employee without any college degree doing web development with React/Node/AWS.

That would heavily depend on the (unspecified) country.

  That is true, since the commenter never specified. I work for the U.S. government.

    I think it's possible but when bidding for contracts I think it matters. When I worked at a smaller company that worked government contracts my lead was always telling me I should work on getting a masters as it looks more attractive.

How does one find govt jobs using modern tech stacks?

You're lucky. When I worked for the federal government(USDA/USFS), there was no way I was going to get access to non-windows servers for deploying my projects. When we brought up the idea of using AWS, they told is that it was impossible as they had no way to handle reoccurring monthly billing. (obviously, this is a lazy excuse). The only node project I managed to get deployed ran behind Apache on Windows Server 2003... and it performed as horribly as one might expect an event-loop to perform behind a threaded proxy.

      Do they even share the same decade?

      Sadly, Win2k3 was in use in 2012/2013 when this occurred.
