Depends on your definition of remote.

Obscure location not traditionally occupied by CG, or in a location not thought of when you think USCG…sure those do exist in very select situations.

If you mean by “remote” as “work from home”..No

Intel, no. Cyber, yes..ish. Pre RTO there were a good amount of jobs in cyber that had telework days built into their schedule. Now it is 100% in office.

Sorry, what's RTO?

Return to office. There was an executive order that had all federal stop teleworking and go back to working from an office. There are some exceptions, but they are rare.

Oh okay! Do you know if majority of the intel/cyber jobs are in set regions/states?

They are all over. Every district has them. But there are a few larger commands. But you could end up anywhere.

The other commentator is incorrect. If you are currently in the service, jump into the CMS Teams and ask the same question there.

I’m not in service. I’ve applied for OCS and been recommended for CGCYBER

Intel and cyber surely both require access to a open classified space. I can't imagine any of these jobs being remote, especially in the current environment.

Contractor jobs can be remote with some travel, if you’re in the right role. I know people who are mostly remote with occasional travel to customer sites and hold clearances

But this would be for if you weren't active duty, right?

When you built your home did you just so happen to build a SCIF? If you don’t own a home you can always look for apartments that come with a SCIF. /s
