You need to do some additional checking

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'themeprefix_pre_get_posts' );
function themeprefix_pre_get_posts( $query ) {
	
	if ( is_admin() || !$query->is_main_query() )
		return $query;
	
	// Show only active job openings
	if ( is_post_type_archive ( 'job' ) ) {
		$query->set( 'meta_key',   'status' );
		$query->set( 'meta_value', 'active' );
	}
	
	return $query;
}

there may also be some additional checks you need to do.
