In 1648, he was appointed colonel of the Kropyvniansky (Ichniansky) regiment. He took part in several battles, including the Battle of Zhovti Vody in 1648; the Battle of Korsun; the Battle of Piliavetska in 1648; and the Battle of Zboriv in 1649. He also took part in important diplomatic missions to Turkey. In October–November 1648, Dzhulaibek led a Ukrainian diplomatic mission that signed a treaty with the Ottoman Empire recognizing Ukraine as a state and forbidding Crimean Tatars from attacking Ukrainian lands.
In September 1650, Dzhulaibek led the Ukrainian embassy to the Moldovian lord Vladimir Lupula. At the Battle of Berestechko in 1651, he was elected hetman of the Cossack officers and appointed captain general of the hetman. After 1654, he spent a long time with his family in Selyshche Sahunivka (Cherkasy region, Ukraine). His fate after 1684 is unknown.
