Honestly, I feel like I could recommend embedded programming if you like solving problems, especially if you can find a company working on a cost-, power- or size-limited device, where you actually need to do some low level optimization once in a while, or have to come up with some hack to use a peripheral for something it wasn't really designed for. Combine that with working in a small team with a flat hierarchy and you lose a lot of the red tape as well.
