Probably none of your real user accounts are in /etc/passwd, so you shouldn't
be surprised this user isn't either.
To access and change account information, use dscl, e.g.:
$ sudo dscl
> cd Local/Default/Users
> change jenkins UserShell /usr/bin/false /bin/bash
---
If you just want to change the shell, use:
sudo chsh -s /bin/bash jenkins
