The most important question: how do I find an apartment to rent in Stockholm city center without Swedish connections and without spending more than 1/3 net pay?

It's the same all over. In what capital city of a major democracy are there jobs and affordable apartments?

I initially meant that rhetorically, but now I'm actually interested to know. Maybe there are good non-govt jobs and low prices in smaller capital cities like Ottawa (<0.8M) and Canberra (<0.4M)? Educate me!

Easy answer: you don't.
Stockholm is the worst place to go in Sweden in terms of cost of living, and yes, it's impossible to get an apartment there.

Luckily the tech scene is very spread out, Lulea, Gothenburg and Lund all have a variety of tech.
