1. He did a better job than I. = Correct but unnatural
2. He did a better job than me. = Arguably incorrect, but very common
It's a difficult choice. Whatever you say, someone will think you're getting it wrong. Want a tip? Say "He did a better job than I did". That way you'll please everyone.
NB Remember that "job" is a singular countable noun, so it needs to have an article before it : "He did A better job than I did".

You should say "He did a better job *than* me". Make sure you know the difference between 'then' and 'than'.
