Not the patriarch of the book of Job, despite sharing his name in most English translations. This Job, more often rendered Jashub in the parallel lists of Numbers 26:24 and 1 Chronicles 7:1, is one of the sons of Issachar listed among the seventy descendants of Jacob who went down to Egypt (Gen. 46:13). The overlap in spelling is a known point of confusion between two otherwise unrelated figures.
