As many of you likely know by now, Katsuhiro Harada recently concluded his decades long career at Bandai Namco. He was considering it for quite some time now, but health issues, 30th Tekken anniversary milestone, and the passing of his colleague, Tomonoby Itagaki, has expedited his decision.

However, barely a month after his retirement, Harada might already be getting back into the workforce. Several fans have noticed that on his LinkedIn, Harada responded to a post from Nobyori Takahashi, the CEO and founder of Diarkis, a network middleware provider.

The job listing was for a server-side engineer, and Harada replied with a simple "I'll join!".

Considering Harada has a background in the more technical aspects of development, and has extensively worked with network engineers and other professionals in relevant fields, it wouldn't be too surprising if he ended up joining a company that is focused on video game online functionality, including solutions for fighting games.

However, it remains to be seen if this actually goes somewhere, or if Harada was simply showing some interest in the position without indicating greater commitment.
