Any pointers on how to go about looking for a remote job?
2 comments

You could look for any job. If you have a skillset some employer really wants, they will think about it if you let them know that you'd be interested in working for them, remote. Of course you risk running into a company that isn't very remote friendly (and the experience can be painful e.g. due to poor communication), but it's surprising how many companies that don't really advertise themselves as remote companies have or have had remote employees.
I have landed my previous and current job, both remote, via Stack Overflow Careers. On the first one I was approached by a recruiter, for the second I have applied myself after narrowing down some search results.
