Is a deployment engineer a good start for a recent CS grad? (self.cs_career_questions)

Hi, I recently graduated with a degree in Computer Science. I've been having a difficult time trying to find a job, but I finally found one as a deployment engineer where I would be dealing with shell scripting, AWS, SQL queries, and some C# framework related stuff.

At the end of the day I would like to go into DevOps, cyber security, or programming.

Is this role a good way to get my foot in the door and kickstarting my career and would it help me achieve my goal for any of those roles?

Thanks. And I do have about a years worth of software engineering internship experience (that sadly didn't have any openings) but feel that having an actual career would be 10x better than an internship for experience.
