At first "glance", if you're looking to get into DevOps, then a deployment engineer should be a good match. I suppose it depends on the company and what they really want vs the job req description. As a Release Engineer, you would need to have (or get on the job) skills with CI/CD pipelines (build/release), branch management and release merging/tagging, and so on. Again, it depends what the company is really doing or wanting from that role.

Would say as a grad any relevant experience is worthwhile to get off the ground.
Get some time there under your belt as that will cover all the soft skills and play around with side projects on topics you're interested in to move you towards where you want to be.
Cool thanks.
I just really want to do whatever I can to get started and don't want to waste my time doing something that won't even help me down the road.
For this job though, I plan on just taking on as many tasks as I can that involve what I mentioned above.
