https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs#Pre-Apple https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs#Pre-Apple says he was hired as a ‘computer technician’.
Later, he was sort-of hired as a hardware designer. Same URL:
“Jobs returned to Atari in early 1975, and that summer, Bushnell assigned him to create a circuit board for the arcade video game Breakout in as few chips as possible, knowing that Jobs would recruit Wozniak for help”
Also, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs#Apple_(1976–1985) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs#Apple_(1976–1985) says:
Jobs's friend from Reed College and India, Daniel Kottke, recalled that as an early Apple employee, he “was the only person who worked in the garage … Woz would show up once a week with his latest code. Steve Jobs didn't get his hands dirty in that sense.”
Also, there’s Woz’s statement (https://www.businessinsider.com/steve-jobs-never-wrote-computer-code-for-apple-2013-8 https://www.businessinsider.com/steve-jobs-never-wrote-compu...):
”Steve didn't ever code," writes Wozniak. "He wasn't an engineer and he didn't do any original design, but he was technical enough to alter and change and add to other designs.”
⇒ I don’t think he did much, if any, programming.
