It's already there: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/ProcThread/...

You can set various limits, though I haven't seen functions to stop/resume a job.

You can suspend and resume threads, so if you model your jobs with processes that could be used for that, I guess.
*with threads
Processes. A quick skim of the documentation linked by the person I answered suggests that processes can be associated with a job object, but threads cannot. But a process cannot really be suspended directly, except by suspending all its threads.
