All job positions offer hybrid assistance perks, meaning you can WFH for 2-3 days per week from the beginning! If you want to fully WFH, usually that can be achieved after trust is built between employer and employee.

If you're interested, I highly encourage you to send me a message here in Polycount   I'd be happy to get in contact with you to talk whether you'd be a good fit to the team, and send your stuff directly to our HR director. I look at all the PMs sent to me - if I do not reply, please be patient, and do NOT send multiple messages.
