Job offered sacrifices as the head of the family.

A particular piece of money, a gesitah, was used by both Job and Jacob.

The length of Job's life was unusually short.

The expression used to describe Job's latter years was also used in reference to Saul.

Job's riches were expressed in terms of animals and servants

Answer 1

There is a mention of Israeli history. The Bible's Book of Job contains the character of Job. Job had a good reputation and always did what was right in God's eyes.

His perfect reputation led Satan to question God about his man and ask for permission to test him. According to the Bible, the patriarchal era/periods are those of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, a generation during which God blessed Israel and established a covenant with the first Patriarch Abraham. Except for the mention of Israel's history, all of the information/statements in the question support Job's association with the same time period.

The comments following do not prove that Job lived during the patriarchal era because Job resided in the land of Edom, which bordered Canaan.
