The best I can suggest is sysadmin for some boring government agency. It doesn't fit the "fully remote" part, but otherwise you are free to do whatever you want as long as everything is up and running. You also don't need to manage anyone, although you do have to talk to angry users once in a while.

That would be nice. I'm perfectly content watching htop and adding some VMs once in a while while playing WoW.

Really, any company with say >2500 (?) falls in this category. It's an entire job of several people to just maintain the worker Inventory (laptops, monitors, etc) room for example. It takes a lot of infrastructure to support a company of size, plenty of people in my 10k person company doing what you want - run the company that runs the product.
