If you want to make your EC2 instance visible to your application on Heroku, you need to add your instance to Heroku's security group from Amazon. There are some instructions in Heroku's documentation that explain how to connect to external services like this.

https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/dynos#connecting-to-external-services

In the case of MongoDB running on its default ports, you'd want to do something like this:

$ ec2-authorize YOURGROUP -P tcp -p 27017 -u 098166147350 -o default

As for how to handle your delayed jobs running remotely on the EC2 instance, you might find this article from the Artsy engineering team helpful. It sounds like they developed a fairly similar setup.
