The last time I was looking for a job I tried pretty hard to find a remote job. I tried to match my interests and skills pretty closely to the jobs and came up with a small list, all of which ultimately fell through.
One of them was close and gave me a fair chance with interviews, but most of the rest simply e-mailed back saying that they were looking for someone who already had remote experience. Great catch 22

They're based in DC, but have offices + developers around the country. I worked in their SF office with a handful of developers and the other half of our team was at the headquarters in DC. Also, developers on related teams were scatted across the country. Occasionally, getting help from someone meant snagging their time over Skype/Hangouts. Now, I can put on my resume that I have remote experience.

- arenaninja 12y agoThanks for the pointers! I'll take these into consideration next time I'm on the market (which might be this year... I'm not a huge fan of my commute)
