This can also be done using queue level events.

queue.on('job failed', function(id, result) {
    kue.Job.get(id, function(err, job) {
        if (!err && shouldRetry(job))
            job.state('inactive').save();
    });
});

Thus you don't need to do for every job that you wish to retry. Instead you can filter it in the queue level event.
