Short answer: Jainism does not posit a single creator god who runs the universe. It is not theistic in the way many other religions are.

Key points:

• The universe is eternal and operates according to natural laws. There is no omnipotent creator God.
• Jains do believe in gods (devas) and many celestial beings who enjoy and suffer like humans, but these beings themselves are not the creators or rulers of the universe. They are also bound by karma and can be reborn.
• The spiritual goal in Jainism is to attain kevala jnana (omniscience) and ultimately Moksha (liberation) from the cycle of birth and death, through right conduct, knowledge, and true perception.
• There are differences between Digambara and Śvetāmbara traditions regarding how gods and Tirthankaras are viewed. In some texts, Tirthankaras (enlightened beings who show the path) are revered as highly exalted liberated souls, not as creators.

If you’d like, I can give a concise summary of how this is described in Digambara and Śvetāmbara sources.
