Is it fine to go straight into mobile app development without being a backend engineer first?

I’m a new grad. I have an opportunity to go directly into the mobile app development space in T-Mobile after graduation. I will be on the native iOS side, which is where my interests lie. I like working on mobile apps, accessibility, and external customer-facing challenges.

On another hand, I also have a choice to go into a more backend/full-stack role but the work doesn’t seem that interesting to me. It’s for internal tools for the company. But maybe doing more backend work may help me out in the future? My only backend experience has been homework and an internship at a startup.

What do y’all think? #mobileappdevelopment #ios #backend #mobiledeveloper

EDIT: I’m aware that building a mobile app from scratch involves designing architecture, building APIs and spinning up services, but I’m just concerned about missing out on any learning opportunities from a traditional large scale backend/distributed systems point of view.
