Mergent (YC S21 - https://mergent.co) might be precisely what you're looking for in terms of a push-over-HTTP model for background jobs and crons.

You simply define a task using our API and we take care of pushing it to any HTTP endpoint, holding the connection open and using the HTTP status code to determine success/failure, whether or not we should retry, etc.

Happy to answer any questions here or over email james@mergent.co
