As others have mentioned, the job listing doesn't necessarily mean anything, but it seems unlikely that it's unrelated to the current situation with the (lack of anything regarding the) GSL.
What I find to be more significant is that - regardless of how things end up - this seems to indicate that it's going to be a while before we hear anything. The job opening was posted less than two weeks ago. WotC will need to wait long enough for applicants to apply, figure out which ones they want to interview, interview all of those chosen, make a decision about who they want to hire, have the one they pick move to Washington and start work, and then work on the GSL, all before they'll (hopefully) be done with it.
If that's the case, then there's no way we're going to be getting any substantive updates before Gen Con. :\
