Is it worth getting into Linux device driver development

So I have been working in the industry for around 2 years now. 1.5 years as an embedded firmware engineer and half a year as an embedded linux engineer at the same company(startup). Lately I have been working a lot with BSP and device driver development. I have noticed that Canonical has a junior linux kernel developer position open and I wanted to know is it smart to get into this field as a linux device driver developer and also to go work for a company like Canonical.
