Good work experience is good work experience. It will earn you more opportunities and money down the road. Just insure you mix development and ops if you want the flexibility to be able to do both down the line. If you only do software engineering then you may end up building really poor applications because you do not have the systems engineering experience to know how to scale and secure apps appropriately. Since it is just an internship it will not be your first and last job. If you want to do one for some time that is fine, as when you apply for another role you will normally have to pass engineering tests for the job at hand which will let you know if it is right for you. The really good jobs ask you questions related to what you or your peers are actually doing.
