Are they going to consider remote candidates for the position or is it on-site only?

YC alums, would this opportunity be open to those who participated in YC accelerator programs as well? Or is it restricted to current YC employees?

Alumni of YC accelerator programs are definitely eligible for this position, as well as any YC employee or community member. The job listing doesn't exclude anyone based on their past participation in YC programs.
