Medium sized companies (100-300 engineers) usually have really excellent work life balance in my experience. Remote work has made meetings a bit trickier - try to find an employer who aims to have folk in nearby timezones.

This is definitely possible, though.

Regarding on-call: Work for internal tools teams at companies that aren't really worldwide. Internal tools teams, either developer or business facing, usually don't have much in terms of off-hours on-call. On-call expectations are determined more by the product you're delivering than the company culture.
