The most common visa for international students to work in the US is the H-1B Visa. This visa is granted if you find a job with an employer that is willing to sponsor you.

Your employer must file a petition with USCIS on your behalf, but you will only be allowed to begin working once the petition is approved. 

The H-1B visa is subject to an annual cap, and competition for available visas can be intense.
