Born in St. Albert, Alberta, to a single mother, Jost moved to British Columbia to grow his hockey career at the Pursuit of Excellence Hockey Academy. From there, he played with the Okanagan Rockets of the British Columbia Major Midget League and Penticton Vees of the British Columbia Hockey League to retain his NCAA eligibility. Jost played one season of NCAA Division I ice hockey with the North Dakota Fighting Hawks after being drafted 10th overall by the Colorado Avalanche in the 2016 NHL entry draft, and turned pro immediately following his lone collegiate season.
Jost made his NHL debut with the Avalanche during the 2016–17 season after the Fighting Hawks fell to Boston University in the first round of the 2017 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament. He spent the following 5 seasons within the Avalanche organization moving between their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Colorado Eagles, and the NHL level. During his sixth season with the Avalanche, Jost was traded to one of their division rivals, the Minnesota Wild, where he played briefly before being waived and claimed by Buffalo. Following two seasons with Buffalo, Jost signed with the Carolina Hurricanes; he was subsequently claimed off waivers by the Predators during training camp in October 2025.
Internationally, Jost has competed for Team Canada at both the junior and senior levels, winning a gold medal with them at the 2015 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament and silver at the 2017 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships and 2019 IIHF World Championship.
