Django and APScheduler not running on IIS Server

Question

We have a django app which we deployed using IIS Server. The app has been running smoothly and without any problem. However, we want to schedule a job that will run every night at 02:00. We are using APScheduler which is working perfectly fine on the django local server but it never runs on production. Here is the code I am using to run the jobs.

myapp/scheduler.py

def schedule():
    scheduler = BackgroundScheduler()
    scheduler.add_job(daily_schedules, 'interval', minutes=5)
    # scheduler.add_job(daily_schedules, trigger='cron', hour='2')
    scheduler.start()


def daily_schedules():
    time_now = time.clock()
    parse_api() # my function
    # Keeping logs
    path = join(settings.FILES_DIR, 'schedulled/logs.csv')
    logs = pd.read_csv(path, encoding='utf-8')
    time_end = time.clock() - time_now
    logs.loc[len(logs)] = [
        datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'), time_end
        ]
    logs.to_csv(path, encoding='utf-8', index=False)
    print(logs)

myapp/apps.py

from django.apps import AppConfig

class MyAppConfig(AppConfig):
    name = 'MyApp'

    def ready(self):
        from myapp import scheduler
        scheduler.schedule()

Is there any particular reason why the job is not being run? Do I need to do something else or this method does not work with IIS? Since the server is being used by many developers at the same time, I would like to run the jobs as part of the django application and not run them outside in a separate server.

P.S: I have read all the stackoverflow questions on this matter but none seem to answer my questions.
