Remote employees must work only for companies outside Spain. Self-employed applicants may work for Spanish companies, but that work cannot exceed 20% of their total activity.
The digital nomad (teleworker) visa is designed for people who work remotely for businesses located outside Spain using digital means. If you are an employee, your work must be for a non-Spanish employer.
Freelancers and self-employed professionals have a little more flexibility: they may take on Spanish clients, provided that work stays at or below 20% of their overall activity. Going over that limit would conflict with the purpose of the visa, so it's important to keep the majority of your income tied to foreign clients or employers.
