Here's what I've found.

dotnet msbuild uses the Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Functions .NETStandard 1.5 library which if you look at the dependencies on NuGet it doesn't use Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs

But if you use the Visual Studio 2017 msbuild it will use the .NETFramework 4.6 version of the library which includes Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.

My suggestion is to use MSBuild for now. I've written a tutorial on how to do this.
