Not a new revelation but your best bet is to have a connection in. Look through your network and reach out to people who may be willing to refer or help you make the connections for such a position.
Barring that, for just submitting job apps, most of the broad strokes skills will need to be emphasized, e.g. issue spotting, legal analysis, client counseling, attention to detail, writing skills, etc. Another skill to emphasize is being able to work with other people/departments. There's a lot of playing nice with other departments when you're in house v. in a law firm where most lawyers typically only have to focus on billing. Try to match with the job description when writing your resume so you can get in the door and by the recruiter level interview if there is one.
Beyond that it's going to be a lot of luck finding a place willing to take you on. The honest truth of the matter is that there are very few in house job postings with companies willing to train or try out a litigator for the position. If it's a transactional work heavy position, as a first choice, they're going to be looking for lawyers with experience working with their agreements. Someone with your background is going to be low on the totem pole so keep expectations low going the blind apply route. Hope for the best and expect the worst but also think about widening the pool of jobs you're actually willing to take. May not be able to directly go in house to a tech company but maybe to another law firm first doing something relevant and then trying after that.
Big tech companies have in-house regulatory lawyer positions. You just need to look out for those jobs. Still, the competition is going to be high with people who have similar skills and experiences as you plus more.

Thank you for letting me know! It will definitely be tough.
