I've worked remotely for the past 4 years as a contractor. I'm in Santiago de Chile, the headquarters are on Sydney. It has worked fine most of the time, I remember only a handful of times in which I've had to stay up very late because of problems on the production server (we're 12-14 timezones apart!). The support for another of the products of this business is handled by another developer in Sweden, so it's a very distributed team :-) I've also worked as a contractor with another team based in Cape Town, South-Africa. To look for remote jobs, besides HN, check on StackOverflow. They allow you to filter job offerings by those which allow telecommuting, but many of them have clauses like "work from anywhere in the US" or "must be a US citizen or have a work permit to work on the US".
