I feel like its easier to get hired for a remote job if you've already worked remotely previously. See if you can whip up a few non-trivial projects of your own and build up a small portfolio, if you haven't already. Then the first step might be taking on a manageable project like building an MVP for someone.

Even taking a project that you worked on in a tutorial, extending it and being able to speak intelligently about your design decisions will help you get a foot in the door on many small projects.
