No. Visa waiver program visitors may not change their status in the US except if they are doing so as an immediate family member of a US citizen.
Questions about work permits belong on Expatriates, so please ask there if you want more detailed information about the kinds of work visas that may be suitable for you. The most common of these are scarce, so it could take a couple of years to get one.

To be clear, while you can't change your status while in the United States, your employer can certainly begin the process. You would then have to return home (I don't think merely leaving the US counts) then re-enter on the new Visa.
