He began the season by competing on the 2021–22 ISU Junior Grand Prix circuit, finishing ninth at 2021 JGP Slovakia.[6]
Due to Kazakhstan having no Olympic berths obtained during the 2021 World Championships, Jirenbayev was sent to compete at the 2021 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, the final qualifying event for the 2022 Winter Olympics. At the event, Jirenbayev would place twenty-seventh, failing to qualify a spot for Kazakhstani men's singles skaters at the 2022 Winter Olympics.[6][8][9]

He would subsequently compete on the 2022–23 ISU Challenger Series, finishing second at the 2022 CS Denis Ten Memorial Challenge and ninth at the 2022 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb. Between the two events, Jirenbayev would also win the bronze medal at the 2022 Denkova-Staviski Cup.[6]
Selected to compete at the 2023 Winter World University Games, Jirenbayev would place eleventh at the event. One month later, he competed at the 2023 Four Continents Championships in Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States, where he finished sixteenth. He then closed the season with a sixteenth-place finish at the 2023 World Junior Championships in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.[6]
Following the season, Jirenbayev's coach, Sergei Voronov, made the decision to resign as head coach of the Denis Ten Academy. As such, Oksana Ten, mother of the late Denis Ten and the then vice-president of the National Skating Federation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, would become Jirenbayev's new coach.[2][10]
