It can mean that he really enjoys his job and is very interested in it. "He's really into his job. It's his main interest, and it's both his career and his hobby."
It can also mean that he is in the middle of doing his work and is concentrating very hard. "Don't bother him right now. He's into his job." |

Thanks Jamie, but if he only desperately like to get this job, but he doesn't have it yet, can he say He's really into it? Thanks Spencer |

No, as Conchita says, he'd be desperately after the job. |
