After graduation, he became an intern at Hans Zimmer's Remote Control Productions. During that time, Jablonsky met Harry Gregson-Williams, a fellow composer of Zimmer, and started working as his assistant.

He also has written music for the television show Desperate Housewives (2004 - 2012) since the fourth episode.
