Hey there, OP here. One of the people who works remote with our team is our (former) summer intern. He spent the summer with us in the office, but is now on the other side of the country. He works a full week from there. He's junior in terms of work experience. But, we know he can learn new things on his own and takes a lot of pride in the work he does. Nobody is a genius hacker when they start. It's the deliberate practice and dedication that make you one.
