Born in São Paulo, Jobson finished his formation with Palmeiras. On 29 November 2015, he made his first team – and Série A – debut, coming on as a substitute for Agustín Allione in a 2–0 away loss against Coritiba.[1]

On 2 March 2016, Jobson was loaned to Santo André until the end of the Campeonato Paulista Série A2.[2] He subsequently served another loan stint at Nacional-SP before leaving the club.

Náutico

On 30 May 2017, Jobson agreed to a permanent deal with Náutico.[3] He contributed with ten league appearances during the season's Série B, as his side suffered relegation.

On 9 May 2018, after scoring the winning goal of the Campeonato Pernambucano final against Central, Jobson extended his contract until April 2019.[4]

He scored his first goal for Peixe on 3 March 2020, netting the equalizer in a 2–1 Copa Libertadores away win against Defensa y Justicia; it was also his debut match in the competition.[10]

On 10 November 2020, it was announced that Jobson and a further six first team players tested positive for COVID-19.[11] The following 18 January, he was sidelined for the remainder of the season after suffering a knee injury.[12]
