How is this embedded software domain compared to sde roles?

I worked as a fullstack developer for around 3 years. I am working as an embedded software developer currently developing device drivers for microcontrollers. I have completed 1 year as an embedded software developer. I am a computer science engineer. I am in dilemma whether I should move to sde role or stay in embedded software domain. I just know that I love coding be it for web applications or microcontrollers. But I don't want to go in depth of electronics and hardware stuff. I don't know much about this embedded software domain. Please guide me what roles we have in embedded software domain which involves more of software and coding related stuff and less of electronics and hardware.
