It's literally a completely nonspecific job listing to work at id.
They mention Doom and Quake because the 2 most recent titles they have worked on are DOOM and Quake Live. Reading any further into it is pure stupidity.

There's nothing there that suggests the next title is a Quake.
Besides, wouldn't it make more sense to just keep backing the horse that's winning right now (i.e. Doom) ?
I'm sure id are looking at Quake right now. Not saying they're definitely making a Quake but imagine they do the whole trio of their most well known franchise and get it right, people will definitely hail them as the daddys of the shooter genre again.
Indeed

It's probably safe to bet a new quake is on the horizon somewhere. who knows, maybe it's already been picked and poked at here n there.
I can see a darker, grittier return to a quake1 style. Maybe heavier story and rpg elements than doom4 and not as arcade oriented (no health drops from enemies). maybe the intention is to have doom fill the multiplayer role and make quake more sp oriented.
I would like a new quake.

Then they've done a terrible job of it. Doom 2016's single player is getting rave reviews, whilst the multiplayer is the definition of mediocrity.
Yeah

I think that was the intent though. I feel trying to revive/reboot the q3/qlive/arcade shooter is too risky. A so-so doom mp would have a less damaging impact than a so-so quake mp.
It personally wouldn't surprise me if the next game from id was a quake/heretic/hexen amalgam under the quake IP targeting core gamers, specifically the fps/bloodbourne/dark souls/thisgameishardandscary crowd. After that they might introduce a new ip to grab a specific demo. I doubt they'll bring back rage any time soon, if at all. This is 110% uninformed speculation of course, it's just my guess.

The only people I'd trust to do it are a very specific sub-selection of #funcers, including but not limited to CZG, Vondur, Skacky, Daz, Kinn, Negke, Sock.

Sounds pretty damn good to me.
