How to find a part-time programming job?


I'm currently looking for a new job. Right now I work full-time in an office, and I'm hating the lack of time I have. I can afford my expenses with a part time job since I split my rent with another engineer. I'd love to have some more free time to work on some side projects to eventually run my own business, and really just to de-stress.

I'm a game developer, and I've only worked here for a year and a half, but I look like I've aged 5 years since I started here.

So anyone have any recommendations on how to find a part-time engineering job? Remote is preferable but I've never worked remote before so I know that might be hard to find for myself.

I can't seem to find many jobs online that I'd like to work for...would be great to have benefits too, but I know that's rare for part time employees in the US.

(I am in the US by the way)

I have worked part-time as a dev in the past but I essentially went from full-time to 3 days a week in the same company. I only did it for a short time. A lot of people warned me that sometimes companies and coworkers will expect you to do the same amount of work in the reduced hours, I think it is rarer in places that are used to people working part-time.
