The easiest way to get in is as a programmer. Programmers with design skills can make their own games with some help from an artist. Making demos or prototypes is the best way to show what you can do. Modding other games if you don't have programming skills is another good way to build up a portfolio. Its far more impressive to see things achieved than qualifications, though they help too and often are required.

Is this position only available onsite?

One of my skill sets is a proven track record of working remotely (from home) for the last four years.
