Hulu is hiring for more than 100 jobs across the US and its Beijing, China office.
Business Insider asked the streaming company's head of human resources, Shannon Sullivan, what teams will have the most job opportunities in 2020.
She said Hulu is staffing up on three key groups this year: technology, marketing, and advertising sales.
"Those are areas of significant growth for Hulu," Sullivan, senior vice president of talent and organization, said.

Hulu currently has 60 tech and engineering openings across its Santa Monica; Beijing; and Seattle, Washington offices.
Sullivan said competition for talent has been fierce in some tech roles, like data science and engineering. Hulu has been hosting meetups and networking events to build relationships with potential recruits, and mining social media to find more candidates in those fields.
"We're all fighting for the same talent," Sullivan said. "That's an area where we have big goals and are having to get creative on attracting people to Hulu."
In marketing, Sullivan said the Hulu team spans traditional, brand, subscriber-acquisition, and social-media marketing, as well as customer support. That division is mostly based at Hulu's headquarters in Santa Monica.
Advertising sales is another growing group at Hulu. The company has more than a dozen current openings across New York and Santa Monica.
