Junior Accountant

Finance Full Time Richmond, BC Hybrid $56,000 - $70,000 CAD per year

Founded and based in Richmond, BC, Ideon Technologies uses the energy from supernova explosions in space to image deep beneath the Earth’s surface. The world pioneer in cosmic-ray muon tomography, Ideon has developed the REVEAL™ Subsurface Intelligence Platform™, comprising an advanced suite of proprietary data-generation hardware, software, AI-powered services, and multi-physics fusion that provide x-ray-like visibility deep underground and unlock the exponential power of integrated spatial data.

By transforming muon data into reliable 3D density maps, Ideon helps geologists identify, map, characterize, and monitor mineral deposits with confidence. This reduces risk and cost of traditional methods, while saving time, optimizing return, and minimizing environmental impact across the mining value chain. In turn, this is helping accelerate the world’s transition to low-impact mining and transform how companies recover the critical minerals required to power the global shift to clean energy – improving peoples’ lives and enhancing economic prosperity.

More Role Details

Location : Our office is located at #150 – 4611 Viking Way, just off the No. 6 Road exit on the east‑west connector in Richmond, BC, Canada. Lots of free parking is available and a bus stop is one block away.

This is a hybrid role. We love seeing folks in the office 2+ times a week; you’re welcome to work from home the remainder of the week or come into the office all 5 days if you prefer. Our “be an adult” approach means you have the flexibility to determine your in‑office schedule while factoring in the positive impact of face‑to‑face connection and communication with your leader and teammates.

During your first few months, it’s anticipated you’ll spend more time in the office to support role‑specific onboarding and relationship building.

Hours of work : 8 hrs / day, M‑F. Typical working hours are 9 AM‑5 PM-ish pacific time; some employees shift slightly earlier or later based on business and personal needs. As Ideon is a high technology company, you may be asked to be flexible with your hours due to business requirements.

What We Offer

Salary : The annual salary range for this role, in Canadian dollars, is $56,000 – $70,000 . Early equity option allocations upon hire plus the opportunity to earn performance‑based option allocations annually are also highlights of our total rewards package.

Ideon’s salary ranges are determined by role and level and are benchmarked against companies of similar size and stage in the Vancouver, BC, Canada market. The range reflects the minimum and maximum new employee salary. It is not typical for a new employee to be hired at the top of the range; as experienced as someone may be they likely won’t have the directly related experience unique to working at Ideon. In exceptional circumstances, though, where a person has the knowledge, skills, and experience to exceed those needed for the position, we may consider compensating at the top of the range. In the application process you will be asked to provide your salary expectations.
