Package: @imqueue/job 3.0.3 — generated reference, not hand-written

Milliseconds to wait before any worker may pick this job up. Omit it to make the job available immediately.

**Signature:**

```typescript
delay?: number;
```

## Remarks

This is also the delay the job is re-scheduled with if its handler throws, so it doubles as the retry back-off for that job.
