Hi,
It is possible to get a job in game development that is remote only but many companies do require you to travel to the office for meetings on occasion. It does depend on the company.
How to get a job. There are many ways, and one is to go to a college/university and study Game Development or Software Engineering. There are a few specialist courses around which focuses on game development specifically. Otherwise, self study and lots of it.
Once you’ve got that down, create a portfolio of your own work. Whatever you do, don’t lift game samples from courses - make sure the work is your own original work. Also, a showreel, with videos of your work, github/gitlab repos with source you are willing to share and stuff like that. Getting an internship wouldn’t hurt either which will most likely be unpaid and full time.
This will put you in good standing.
Now, the hard part. You need to apply for jobs. This will mean putting a good quality CV/Resume together and put it out there. Get a Linkedin profile set up and show open to recruitment and make sure you’ve shared various bits of work over time to showcase what you’ve done as well.
This may take a while.
