The ad, unearthed by PlayStation Lifestyle (http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2013/08/05/bluepoint-bringing-a-sony-classic-to-current-gen-helping-on-a-next-gen-blockbuster-franchise/), is for a senior graphics engineer at Bluepoint Games, but cites the new project in its body copy.

Bluepoint Games is the studio responsible for a number of Sony HD upgrades, including the God Of War Collection, Ico & Shadow Of The Colossus Collection and Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.
It also worked on the Vita version of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/playstation-3/beat-em-up/12683/playstation-all-stars-battle-royale/), and created the game engine used in both the PS3 and Vita versions.
Given its experience with previous HD collections, it seems likely that Bluepoint's job listing is referring to a similar HD collection coming to PlayStation 3 and potentially PlayStation Vita.
A number of other HD collections, not related to Bluepoint, are due for release later this year. Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/playstation-3/rpg/12904/kingdom-hearts-hd-15-remix/) is set for release on September 10 in America and September 13 in Europe.
Meanwhile, Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/playstation-3/rpg/13152/final-fantasy-xx-2-hd/) is also in development at Square Enix, while Sega is working on Wii U HD remakes of Yakuza and Yakuza 2 (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/406907/yakuza-1-2-hd-announced-for-wii-u/).
