'jobs' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.

'developing this drained steve' is the wordplay.
'developing' indicates anagramming the letters (letters developed into a new form).
'drained' means to remove the middle letters.
'steve' with its middle removed is 'se'.
'this'+'se'='thisse'
'thisse' is an anagram of 'HEISTS'.

Can you help me to learn more?
