Morphology
The meaning 'a job taken in addition to one's main employment' is transparently derived from combining 'outside' (external to one's primary position) with 'job' (paid work). This compositional reading is straightforward and common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would very likely infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
The phrase outside job comes from the idea of a job done outside your main work. Imagine someone leaving their office to do work elsewhere to earn extra money, so it means 'a job taken in addition to one's main employment'.
