First, both Jews and Christians agree that Jews were not among those smited in the Exodus' tenth plague because of the Pascal Sacrifice.

Jews claim that God himself descended and smote the Egyptians. As there is no partition or Trinity in Judaism, God's act is inseperable from the rest of God's acts. Jesus, being wholly irrelevant to Judaism, features no role in this story.

Christians typically also ascribe this act to God the Father (or God the Father through the Angel of Death), rather than the Son since the Son was in holy communion with the Father until the time of his incarnation at conception.

Relevant verse, citation (NIV):

Exodus 12:29: 29 At midnight the Lord struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock as well.
