The opportunities are occasionally remote as in "on a research vessel somewhere in the middle of the ocean for several weeks." But virtually everyone has a home base near the campus. The nature of the work is very hands-on, even for software.

Edit: As pointed out below, there are some remote software developer roles right now.
