I inserted an IF field into my document with the following code

{ IF { MERGEFIELD MergeRole } = "Software Developer" "SD" "Not SD" }

and no matter what the value of MergeRole is, it just says MERGEFIELD.
All the MergeFields in the document work fine. It's just the IF fiel
that doesn't want to work. According to all the documentation I'v
read and all the websites I've visited, my syntax is correct. Doe
anybody know what I'm doing wrong

Did you use CTRL+F9 to set the field boundaries {} ?
