Automatically Kill high-resource utilization programs

In our company, we use a headless Linux machine as development machine. However, sometimes users use up all resources (CPU, RAM) on that machine, which influences the work of others. Hence, we want to cap the amount of resources a user can take up for a single process. Is there a utility on Linux that allows to limit the total amount of resources a user can use? Or that automatically kills processes that use up too many resources?
