Don’t mention remote. It’s unrelated.

What you need to convey is low risk and high fidelity service that you deliver.

All with constant communication.

Make employers realize that requiring someone to sit on their local chair can mean more risk and less quality to them then to hire you.

In my experience looking for remote positions (in the last few months) it needs to be part of the conversation. It is related because most companies are not going to be open to a new hire going remote unless they have already considered it for the position.

For example: at one company I talked with the dev lead/manager was 100% remote, so I assumed it was at least a possibility and didn't directly address being remote until I got to the last round of interviews. Ultimately they passed because "we have no doubt of your ability but we want people in the (open) office regularly."

Mentioning it at the beginning would have saved us both time.

As a remote senior lead who's hiring developers right now, I'm making a point of telling people whether we'll consider remote or not. Unfortunately my company really wants on-site but given their location and the talent we're after... not happening.

I hope you consider posting your job openings in the upcoming "Who's Hiring".

I sure did, posted last month too.
