I did. I was working for a very small company (5, including 2 co-founders). I simply asked for a trial run of a couple days per week at home, and made it clear that I hoped if it went well, we could expand that. It did, and eventually I moved out of country for a time. I was never in-office again, actually. I was pretty close & friendly with the co-founders, and they trusted me. Might go differently at a bigger company, who knows. Also, I'm a (web) developer, so all of my work is "online" anyway. The few meetings I had at that company were just moved to google hangouts. I moved on, eventually, and my current gig has been remote from the start.
