Basically you need to negotiate for these. It's much easier if you've already done it at your current job, because you have proof it can work. And it's easier to negotiate with remote companies, because they're not in a "seat in butt is all that matters" mindset. Ideally you get a job offer, and _then_ tell them you want to work fewer hours.
Lowest I've gone is 28 hours: started as contractor, got hired as employee. Later jobs have been 32-35 hours.
I interviewed someone who has been doing this for 15 years with 4-day week (also never advertised): https://codewithoutrules.com/2018/01/08/part-time-programmer/ https://codewithoutrules.com/2018/01/08/part-time-programmer... and I'm working on book on how to negotiate a 3-day weekend (i.e. 4-day workweek - 20-25 hours is harder): https://codewithoutrules.com/3dayweekend/ https://codewithoutrules.com/3dayweekend/
