... I was wondering if it's possible for a foreigner like me to find office work in Indonesia ...
Theoretically only legally possible if you have a skill that Indonesians don't have .
And to make it even more difficult , the salaries of Indonesian workers are very small (see here
https://www.bps.go.id/en/statistics-table/2/MTUyMSMy/average-of-net-wage-) , and there are so many without job .

Foreigners can only be employed by 'big companies' in a working relationship for a certain position and a certain time, and must be qualified for the position to be occupied.

If you cannot get a job under the above restrictions , you still have the option to work informally if you marry an Indonesian .
For example , you could work informally in your Indonesian spouse's small business .
