It's the employer that petitions for the visa, not the employee.
There are various kinda of work visa depending on the type of work and company you are with; the most common is the H1B (closed till next April) and the L1 intra-company transfer.

My experience is that when applying for a job in the US, the employer presumes that you already have a valid work visa. In the case that they are willing to sponsor it's almost always mentioned in the job advert.

The H1B is really your only option I think.
