I once got a remote job with a startup in Dallas, but it was a bit of an unusual circumstance where I had all the bargaining power. A friend was going in as the director of engineering and really wanted me, and I basically made being 80% remote a condition of my employment. It wound up not working out in the end largely because of that (not because of my friend, but because of executives who didn't feel like they were obligated to honor their agreement with me).
