Yes, this follows the traditional DeepMind hiring process. (I think phases three and four happen simultaneously though.)
There is a risk of positions being filled or closed, but it should be fine to ask to defer the interviews until the positions are close to being filled or closed, so that you would still be considered. If you’ve already applied you can let your recruiter know and they should be able to add it as a note to the application.
