Can I apply for a tourist visa to the United States and find a job there?

You can't find a job in the United States when you apply for a tourist visa in the United States. You need to apply for an American work visa to work in the United States.

H- 1B is a short-term work visa, which is issued to foreigners who come to the United States to do various professional jobs for American employers approved by the Immigration Bureau.

The positions provided by American employers must be "special professional positions" recognized by American law, such as computer programmers, engineers, lawyers, accountants, architects, physiotherapists, pharmacists, medical technicians, professors, teachers, doctors, librarians, management consultants, hotel managers, models, economists, agronomists, biologists, chemists, geologists, horticulturists, nutritionists and so on.

Applicants must be foreigners with "special talents" or "professional knowledge":

Bachelor degree or above (more than 4 years of college education plus more than 5 years of practical work experience), or work experience equivalent to the professional level of the university (usually 3 years of work experience in the field of college is equivalent to 1 year).
